honoring those who serve our community
For the first time since World War II, the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce has chosen a group of people rather than an individual to be honored as its First Citizen. In recognition of the extraordinary service the community’s first responders and other essential workers have performed during the pandemic, the 2020 Eugene First Citizen award will be bestowed upon Frontline Workers.
We have amazing community leaders who deserve to be honored and who will be honored in the future. But this year when the group of First Citizens met to make their selection, it just became clear that in this extraordinary time the real winners are the people who showed up for work every day to care for the sick, provide essential services and keep our economy going. To them we owe a huge debt of gratitude, and it is our honor to name them the 2020 First Citizens.”
– Brittany Quick-Warner, Eugene Chamber CEO
In another pandemic pivot, the Chamber will also award each of the 2020 Eugene Future First Citizens, six students nominated by their high schools, with a $1,000 scholarship.
