First Citizen's Award
Since 1932 the Danville Chapter of AMBUCS has presented a First Citizen's Award. During a banquet each year a member of the Danville Community is honored as Danville's First Citizen based on their volunteer service to the community.
The recipients are invited to attend the dinner as well as friends and family of the new recipient. The long list of honorees describe persons who have greatly shaped the Danville community.
Candidates are recommended by their peers through letters of nomination each winter and are judged by a panel of AMBUCS.
