Nominations are being accepted for the Lang Volunteer Award
        
(COLUMBIA, MO) – Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Howard B.
Lang Jr. Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service. The award program,
organized by the city of Columbia and the New Century Fund, will
recognize an outstanding volunteer for his or her contribution to city
government.  
The award is made possible by Leo Hill, city manager from 1952-1958,
who worked with Howard Lang when he served as mayor of Columbia. Hill
wished to honor Lang, Columbia’s mayor from 1953-1957, for his service
to the city through this award. Lang passed away in November 2007.
Nominees may have taken any volunteer role that benefits the city: a
board, commission or task force member, elected official or volunteer
with any of Columbia’s city departments. The recipient will be chosen
based on impact, initiative and length of service. Nominations will be
accepted through Jan. 14. 
Previous recipients of the award are Ed Kaiser, a longtime volunteer
with the Columbia Public Works Department and the Columbia Police
Department, and Darwin Hindman, who served as mayor from 1995-2010. 
The recipient will be recognized at the city’s annual volunteer
recognition reception in the spring. The honoree will be presented a
plaque along with $1,000.
Application forms and other details will be posted on the city’s
website at www.GoColumbiaMo.com. More information is available by
contacting the Office of Neighborhood Services at (573) 874-7499.
