Nominations for 2014 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Awards
Nominations are still being accepted for the 2014 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Awards, a statewide competition created to recognize non-elected public
servants who serve as a critical link between citizens and the people elected to represent them.
The awards are named in honor of Gabrielle Giffords' director of community outreach who lost his life on Jan. 8, 2011, while serving the citizens of
Arizona. Arizona-based public servants who are employed by cities and towns; counties; special districts; agencies of the executive and legislative
branches of state governments; tribal governments; and staffs employed by members of the Arizona Congressional Delegation are eligible.
Awards will be presented in three categories including: leadership, innovation and civic engagement. The awards are an opportunity to showcase the
commitment and dedication of more than 100,000 public servants working at all levels of government. All Arizona citizens are encouraged to make nominations.
The deadline is Monday, July 14, 2014.
With support from the Zimmerman family, the 2014 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Awards are sponsored by the County Supervisors Association of Arizona (CSA),
Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc., and the League of Arizona Cities and Towns. Honorees will be recognized at the 2014 League of Arizona Cities and
Towns Annual Conference in August.
The 2013 Gabe Zimmerman Public Service Award winners were Betsey Bayless, president and CEO of the Maricopa Integrated Health System, for leadership; Arlan
Colton, planning director at Pima County Development Services, for civic engagement; and James Glen Jayne, manager of Navajo County, for innovation.
