Nominations are being accepted through Friday, June 26, for the annual Community Service Awards presented to companies located in the Cornell Business & Technology Park (CBTP) in the village of Lansing.

The awards, sponsored by the Real Estate Department of Cornell University, recognize the volunteer and community service efforts made by companies and employees of companies located in the CBTP. All companies in the park are eligible for the awards; companies can nominate themselves or can be nominated by others.

Awards will be considered in three categories:

• small company, less than 15 employees;
• midsize company, 16 to 30 employees; and
• large company, more than 30 employees.

To be eligible, a company must demonstrate a strong commitment to community service in Tompkins County: through direct financial support of local non-profit agencies; through in-kind support (services); or by encouraging and/or supporting members of its staff to volunteer their time or contribute money to non-profit agencies.

A judging panel, which includes representatives from the Ithaca community, the village of Lansing and Cornell, will review the nominations and will select one winner in each category.
