Every year the High Springs Chamber of Commerce seeks to recognize an individual who has made a major contribution to the City of High Springs and/or its residents by giving of their time, expertise, money, or any combination thereof. This individual does not have to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

If you would like to nominate someone as the Citizen of the Year, please print out the application form (link below) and mail it to the High Springs Chamber of Commerce office [ PO Box 863 - High Springs, FL  32655.]

A nomination committee will be formed in June to review all applications, and the winner will be announced at the High Springs Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet in July.

For more information, please contact the Chamber of Commerce Visitors’ Center at (386) 454-3120.
