Established by the friends and family of its namesake, the Elissa M. Garofalo Community Impact Award is presented in Elissa’s memory to someone who demonstrates leadership, vision, and community impact in Carbon County. Elissa was a force for Carbon County, without whom several projects would not have come to fruition.
The award will provide a stipend of at least $500 to the recipient each year, which should be used for professional development to help further the recipient’s career and education. Alternatively, the recipient can name a Carbon County charitable organization to receive the $500 in her or his name.
Minimum qualifications for the Elissa M. Garofalo Community Impact Award include:
- Demonstrated community leadership and impact
- A vision for long-lasting impact in the community
- A passion for mentoring others
- All are welcome to apply, but priority will be given to female applicants/nominees who fit the criteria
This award is not intended to be a Lifetime Achievement Award, but rather, it should recognize someone who can be considered in the prime of her or his career, someone who still has work to do.
Nominations and Self-Nominations will be accepted through the form below.
