Nominations for the John Genitti Citizen of the Year Award are still being accepted. The Northville chamber annually celebrates the dedication and commitment of community members who donate their time, energy, and talent to make Northville a special place to live, work and play. In 2014, the award was designated the "John Genitti Citizen of the Year Award", in honor of local resident and businessman John Genitti. The Citizen of the Year receives a place of honor in the 2022 Independence Day Parade, the Heritage Festival Parade, and the Holiday Lighted Parade.
Nominees for the award must be involved in actively supporting (through time, talent, or financial support) an organization that improves the Northville community; live or work in the Northville community; show concern for community, environment, and family and be a role model for community youth and citizens.
A brief outline of the reasons a nominee qualifies for the award is required with the nomination. The deadline to nominate a candidate for the award is March 28.
