First Selectman Mike Tetreau announced today that the Fairfield Board of Selectmen is conducting its 16th annual Fairfielder and Town Employee of the Year Awards.

Any member of the public, including town and school employees, is encouraged to submit nominations for either or both awards by 12 pm on Friday, November 15, 2019.

Nomination criteria, lists of previous winners and nomination forms can be found at www.fairfieldct.org/bosawards or by contacting the First Selectman’s Office at 203-256-3030. Please note that nominations can be submitted online.

The Board of Selectmen will present awards at one of its meetings in December to two outstanding individuals—one Fairfield resident and one Town employee. The winners’ names will be added to a plaque which lists the names of all previous winners and the year they received their award. The plaque hangs in the entryway of Independence Hall on the Burr Homestead side.

First Selectman Tetreau stated, “There’s no better way to start the holiday season than to honor members of our community who go above and beyond to make a positive difference for Fairfield. These awards are a popular and rewarding town tradition that help our community learn more about some of the many talented and devoted residents and employees.”
