Citizen of the Year Dinner for Carol Singer
The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce longtime resident and civic leader Carol Singer as the 2026 Citizen of the Year (COY), honoring more than 50 years of dedicated service to the community.

Beyond her leadership in parks and planning, Carol has been a champion of civic engagement through her work with the Lafayette Homeowners Association, Friends of the Lafayette Library, the Age-Friendly Action Plan, and decades of involvement in local campaigns. Known for her thoughtful, research-driven approach and respectful collaboration, Carol’s impact is felt across the city.

The proposal is that the District ask the voters for approval to levy a qualified special tax (parcel tax) on all taxable, non-exempt real property within the District, replacing and increasing the existing Measure L parcel tax, in order to raise funds to support critical educational programs and services in the Lafayette schools. The Board will consider taking final action on the proposal at that meeting.

📍 Stanley Middle School Library - 3455 School Street, Lafayette
