The Village believes it is important to recognize and honor Sussex community members who demonstrate kindness, selflessness, and a positive impact on others through their actions. To honor these actions, the Village has developed the Good Neighbors of Sussex Award program. Nominations will be collected year-round and reviewed by the Village President who will recognize an award recipient quarterly.

Nominations:

• Nominees may be any community member and can be any age (resident, business owner, volunteer).
• The individual may be nominated by anyone. (There are no restrictions on who can nominate the individual.)
• There will be quarterly recognition of Good Neighbors of Sussex Award recipients at a Village Board meeting (four recipients each year, pending nominations).
• Nominations may be made at anytime and there is no deadline for submittals.
• Recipients and their nominators will be invited to attend a Village Board meeting to recognize them for their actions.
• A certificate bearing the Village logo will be presented to each recognized citizen by the Village President.
• Photographs and details of the presentation will be shared in Village communications. 

Recognition can be granted to an individual who has done any of the following:

• Reflected kindness, service, or going above and beyond to help others.
• Demonstrated an outstanding act of bravery, courage, or heroism.
• Went "above and beyond" or demonstrated initiative, exceptional service and/or community caretaking.
