Nominate a Local Business for a
Business of Distinction Award
| | |
Do you know a business in Citrus Heights that goes above and beyond? Now is your chance to recognize them.
The City of Citrus Heights is proud to launch the new Business of Distinction Awards, a quarterly program that celebrates the businesses that make our community stronger. Each cycle will spotlight a different theme, with unique ways businesses are nominated and selected.
For our first award, Civic Heights, we are inviting the community to submit nominations. This cycle recognizes businesses that embody the core values of Citrus Heights: diversity, innovation, integrity, teamwork, respect, responsive customer service, and trust.
By nominating a business, you’re helping shine a spotlight on those that not only provide products and services but also play an important role in shaping the character and culture of our city.
Nominations are open October 2–9 and voting will take place from October 16-23.
Submit your nomination today and help us recognize the businesses that make Citrus Heights a great place to live, work, and do business.
