The Governor’s Office of Community Service, in partnership with First Lady Nancy Schweitzer and the Montana Commission on Community Service, announced today that nominations are being accepted for the 2012 Serve Montana Awards, Ready Montana Awards and First Lady’s Math and Science Awards.

Presented in February, these annual awards recognize outstanding Montana individuals, organizations and national service members committed to community and volunteer service.

The ServeMontana Awards are for service and volunteer work in the areas of education, healthy futures, environmental stewardship, veterans and military families, and economic opportunity.

The ReadyMontana Awards are for service specifically related to disaster services, emergency preparedness and emergency response.

The First Lady’s Math and Science Awards are for outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses that promote math and science education in Montana.
