On Thursday, Westfield Mayor Andy Cook announced the City of Westfield will present an award to honor individuals in the community who practice exemplary service. The designation, called the “Westfield Way” award, will be presented monthly as an extension of the city’s hospitality initiative.

“A community is not defined solely by amenities or what is built,” said Cook. “What truly makes a community great is found in the people – how we serve and support one another. This award will highlight those individuals and organizations going above and beyond.”
“We want the people who make this community great to be honored,” said Westfield Welcome Director Angie Smitherman. “The hope is that the community embraces this program and works to promote the spirit of hospitality in our city.”
The “Westfield Way” award is part of a continuous hospitality effort to better serve all who work, play and live in Westfield. A committee made up of community members and City of Westfield staff will select award recipients from public nominations submitted on the Westfield Welcome website.

This sounds like a great program! I hope that your committee of community members includes some new names. It would be a shame to have the same people who are on every committee giving awards to the same people who always win awards. I think the community would appreciate you casting a wider net with this program.
