The Bowie Chamber of Commerce is accepting nominations for the 2016 Frances Brite Outstanding Citizen of the Year award that will be presented at the Jan. 30 chamber banquet.

This nominee has demonstrated a commitment to the community, has a record of contributions to its welfare and has had success in promoting, advancing or serving the community.
No individual business awards will be presented this year as the chamber plans to highlight all its member businesses at the banquet.
