The J. Walter Juckett Community Service Award is given to recognize and honor an extraordinary individual “who has selflessly gone above and beyond by contributing time and energy to help others,” the ARCC says.
Previous winners include John & Kevin O’Brien, Ed Moore, Elizabeth Miller and Mark Behan among others. The award is named after J. Walter Juckett who was an active participant in many community organizations. After his passing in 1988, the Chamber’s board of directors created the award. Each year, it is bestowed upon a deserving honoree who demonstrates a fierce commitment and hands-on dedication to the betterment of the local community.
