Directions
The Annual Meeting of the Washington County Historical Society (WCHS) and Distinguished Citizen Award in 2022 will be a little different. Rather than our traditional sit-down luncheon, we are hosting a dessert bar and lowering the price of our ticket. Those who register will have the choice of eating onsite or taking a dessert home with them following the presentation of awards.
The Distinguished Citizen Award is given each year to one or more individuals who:
- Have made exceptional contributions to the life of Washington County, Arkansas, and its communities;
- Have made enduring contributions to preserving and celebrating the history of the County; OR
- Have provided outstanding and sustained service or support to the Historical Society
Persons selected may meet one or more criteria, as determined by vote of the WCHS Board of Directors.
Nominations may be made by any member or any individual or group in Washington County.
Nominations must be in writing and must list the accomplishments of the nominee.
Nominations may be submitted at any time during the year for future consideration.
