(BCN) — Nominations for the “2022 Stocktonian of the Year” award opened as of Wednesday and the recipient will be announced at a banquet ceremony early next year, according to the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce. The Central Valley Association of Realtors’ Stockton Council along with the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce are asking the public to submit the names of people who have extensive community involvement, continually devote themselves to bettering Stockton and have positively impacted the community.

“This program strives to recognize those who are making a difference in our city and who do not typically seek or receive recognition for their efforts,” said the Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce in a statement.

Nominees for the award, which will be the 69th “Stocktonian of the Year” honored, are not required to live in Stockton, but their contributions must have served the community of Stockton, according to the GSCC. A link to the nomination form can be found at stocktonchamber.org/stocktonian/.
