It’s official, our Celebrate Tualatin nominees are finalized! Our Celebrate Tualatin Nominating Committee had an amazing and uplifting meeting discussing all of the good these nominees have done in our community. Wow, our members are phenomenal. We limited our nominations to 3 in each category, but truthfully there are dozens more who deserve recognition. (In fact, we have already started a list of potential nominations for next year!) The ballot will be finalized and emailed to our members on Monday, March 4 and voting will be accepted until Friday, March 8 at 5:00 pm.
