PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Essex National Heritage is celebrating their 20th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, Essex Heritage is recognizing organizations and people that make the Essex National Heritage Area (Essex County) so exceptional.

Much, much to my delighted surprise, I have been nominated as an Essex Heritage Trailblazer in the second category, Connecting People to Place. The 130 nominees are all stellar and most are businesses and very large organizations, for example, the Peabody Essex Museum, Mass Audubon (statewide), and Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, so it is really quite an honor to be nominated. I think GMG could have been nominated for all our work collectively but I am of course grateful for the nomination.

The voting process is very simple, you don’t have to provide your email address or any other personal information. Please vote Kim Smith, in the center column, halfway down in the second category, Connecting People to Place. Here is the link to vote: surveymonkey.com/r/TrailblazersVote

All nominees will be recognized and the Gala sounds like great fun–celebratory cocktails, an exquisite dinner, silent auction, and a Toast to the Trailblazers.

    1. Thank you Nicole, big surprise when I went to cast my vote to see my name there. I think Joey and Good Morning Gloucester could have been nominated for all the good work we do collectively 🙂

  7. Congratulations Kim and thank you for notifying and bringing the opportunity for the GMG FOBs to vote. Interesting to see the three categories and the entities that we may have met through the blog or know during our Gloucester visits or are familiar with on a daily basis. Sending you good wishes for the recognition of the good work you, GMG and the Gloucester community does every day for their neighborhood and visitors.

    1. Thank you Mary for your always welcome comments and support, so very much appreciated. I think GMG as collectively deserves this more than I as an individual, but I am of course very grateful for the nomination 🙂
