.Heroes of Marin 2017 Nomination Form

Heroes of Marin is the Pacific Sun’s annual recognition of those who shine throughout the county—and beyond—in eight different areas (listed below) that range from Arts and Culture, to Environmental Stewardship to Innovation and Lifetime Achievement.

It’s an honor for us to spearhead an effort that champions Marin residents who are working passionately in their fields to make the county, and the world, a better place to live. Whether they are helping kids after school with art projects, saving marshes from development or delivering meals to the needy, our heroes usually have this in common: They care deeply about their work and they inspire those around them to achieve greatness as well.

From now until November 29, 2017, you, our loyal readers, can vote for who you think would make the county’s best heroes. Following the nomination process, a committee of community members will select the winners in each of the eight categories. And on December 20, we’ll publish a commemorative Heroes of Marin issue that celebrates the winners and their work.

Think about who you admire who might embody the qualities of a true hero. Below, please make sure to fill out the form completely, and, in 500 words or less, describe how your hero excels at what he or she does (you may vote for a Hero in more than one category by filling out separate nomination forms for each Hero.) We look forward to crowning Marin’s new Heroes in December of 2017.
