Nominations now being accepted for Heartland Distinguished Alumni award

 

[January 22, 2019]   The Heartland Community College Alumni Association is seeking nominations for the Distinguished Alumni award. The award recognizes notable Heartland alumni who demonstrate exceptional achievement in their profession and make a positive impact on their community.

“The purpose of the award is to recognize alumni who are making a difference in their community,” said Foundation Executive Director Chris Downing. “We encourage co-workers, family members, friends and professors to consider taking a few minutes to nominate a former Heartland student who deserves to be honored.”

Last year’s award winner was Justin Boyd, a financial representative who has served on the Bloomington City Planning Commission and McLean County Chamber of Commerce Board and is also an active volunteer for a number of organizations including the Bloomington-Normal Sunrise Rotary, West Bloomington Revitalization Project, and The Salvation Army.
