All across our borough, individuals and organizations are exemplifying Brooklyn excellence through service to our neighbors. Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso has the privilege of honoring these extraordinary Brooklynites and Brooklyn organizations through two types of honors:

• Proclamations, which are granted in exceptional circumstances and recognize broad legacy; and
• Citations, which are more commonly bestowed to recognize accomplishment.

These honors are only granted in the context of significant milestones; including but not limited to:

• Retirement after more than 10 years of public service;
• Notable anniversaries (greater than 10 years and ending in 0 or 5; e.g. 10, 15, 20, 25…)
• 100th birthdays
• Ribbon-cuttings / inaugural events

In anticipation of these special occasions, the Borough President invites you to nominate exceptional Brooklyn individuals and organizations for consideration to receive an honor.

Nominees must:

1. Exemplify Brooklyn excellence.
