Mira Mesa Town CouncilMira Mesa Town Council Volunteer of the Year
Each year since 1984 the Mira Mesa Town Council has held an annual dinner to recognize special volunteers who make this community a better place. The Volunteer of the Year need not be a Mira Mesa Town Council member, but should be someone who has made a significant contribution to Mira Mesa through volunteer work, not just during the past year but over the years s/he has been involved with the community.

In February 1995 MMTC members adopted standing rules for the “Volunteer of the Year” award specifying that MMTC policy would be to have MMTC members vote on Volunteer of the Year nominees submitted by members and the public - prior to that, the MMTC Board made the selection from submitted nominations, except for 1989, when a vote of the membership was held. In addition, the rules adopted in 1995 stated that MMTC policy would be to select only one Volunteer of the Year and to not select an honoree who has previously been Volunteer of the Year.
