Press Release:
The Upper Dublin Medals Planning Committee is pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 43rd annual Upper Dublin Medals Program, which recognizes outstanding Upper Dublin community members. Due no later than Friday, March 5, 2027 at 9am, nominations are sought in the following categories:
1. Citizen
2. Educator
3. Community Business or Nonprofit Organization
To submit a nomination, please fill out the UD Medals Nomination Form. To be considered, candidates must meet the designated criteria. To help our selection committees make well-informed decisions, please provide thorough and detailed submissions outlining the nominee’s achievements, contributions, and qualifications. Submissions will be reviewed for completeness prior to committee review and vote. The right is reserved to solicit supplementary information from the nominator(s) as deemed necessary to allow for consistent evaluation and consideration.
Beginning with nominations submitted in 2026, those in the Citizen and Business/Nonprofit categories will be retained for two years (the year of submission plus one additional year). Nominations submitted in 2026 in these categories will therefore also be considered in 2027. Educator nominations do not carry over and must be resubmitted each year.
For questions or additional information regarding the nomination process, please contact Susan Lohoefer, Upper Dublin Medals Nomination Coordinator at udmedals@udsd.org.
Each selection committee is made up of individuals from various community groups who review all nominations and meet collectively to select the recipient in their category. Recipients will be announced in April and celebrated at an event on Wednesday, May 19, 2027.
The Upper Dublin Medals Program is presented by Upper Dublin Township, Upper Dublin School District and the Upper Dublin Education Foundation, which benefits from event proceeds. Please contact Michelle Boas at mboas@udsd.org to learn about sponsorship opportunities. For up-to-date information on the Upper Dublin Medals Program, please visit udefoundation.org.
