The Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools Requests Nominations for Distinguished Hometown Alumni Award

DUBUQUE, IA— The Foundation for Dubuque Public Schools (FDPS) is seeking nominations for the 2018 Distinguished Hometown Alumni Award. This fourth annual award will be given to a past Dubuque Community School District alumnus who currently lives in the Dubuque area and has made a significant impact in the community. The winner will be honored at the FDPS Enhancing Excellence Luncheon on April 10, 2018.

The Foundation gives this annual award to recognize the achievements of local public school graduates and celebrate their impact in the community. We want to share real-life examples of Senior, Hempstead and Alternative Learning Center alumni who have benefitted from Dubuque’s public education and have used their time, talent, or resources for the betterment of others.  Previous winners include Cheryl Falb, Susan Butler Ritts, and Tim Hodge.

The public may submit nominations for the Distinguished Hometown Alumni award until January 15, 2018.  Submit your nominations online at www.dbqfoundation.org/FDPS or call 563.588.2700 to request a printed form.

For more information, contact FDPS Executive Director Jennifer Klinkhammer at Jennifer@dbqfoundation.org or 563.588.2700, or visit www.dbqfoundation.org/FDPS.
