Ottawa County Seeking Excellence in Equity Award Nominees

Ottawa County is seeking nominations for the Excellence in Equity Award now through August 31. Submit entries HERE. The award was established in 2019 to recognize individuals who impact the public sector field in Ottawa County and focus on the importance of equity through their practices, programs, policies and decision making.

“The Excellence in Equity Award affords the opportunity to celebrate and learn from the accomplishments of public sector individuals who are succeeding with improving equity in their respective organizations,” said Al Vanderberg, Ottawa County Administrator.

The award is presented at the annual Diversity Forum. In 2019, Reyna Masko was honored with the very first Equity In Excellence Award.

Ottawa County is located on Lake Michigan’s spectacular freshwater coastline where nature is cherished and protected. More than the lakeshore, you’ll find the people of Ottawa County friendly yet driven, working hard to succeed in charming downtown small businesses, at manufacturing hubs with global impact and on acres passed down from generations. We embrace creativity and believe that diversity makes us stronger. We resolve that our public services must be high-quality and cost-effective. We are innovative and never wait for someone to solve our problems for us. We are friendly neighbors chipping in, lending a hand and making sure you know Ottawa County is where you belong.

The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners meets the second and fourth Tuesdays each month at 1:30PM. The public is welcome and encouraged to participate. Meetings are held in the Board Room located at 12220 Fillmore Street, West Olive, Michigan.
