A volunteer who has left an indelible imprint on your organization. A high school athlete or academic deserving of recognition. A police officer, firefighter or EMT who went out of their way to help. A supportive local business owner.

Every day, Eagan residents are taking action to make the community a better place. And Eagan Patch wants to recognize their efforts by kicking off a series of personal spotlights—short profiles highlighting an individual's outstanding contributions.

To make this work, however, we need your nominations!

Email Editor David Henke at david.henke@patch.com with a short message listing the first and last name of your nominee, contact information for that person and a brief description telling us why he or she deserves recognition.

We'll accept your nominations on a rolling basis. Once a nomination is received, Patch will contact suitable candidates—and their nominators—for a short interview.

Questions? Post them in the comment feed below or contact david.henke@patch.com.
