• The honoree(s) has made a meaningful impact or contribution to the people of Ventura County
• No prior commendation has been provided to the individual or organization for the same work or event within the last year
• Commendations may not be requested for yourself
• Optional for County retirements: if requesting “whereas” verbiage, please attach the language to this form at the time of submission

To request a commendation, please complete and submit the attached form below. All requests must be submitted at least four (4) weeks prior to the date needed.

The Supervisor’s office reserves the right to decline any commendation request and may rescind a request if false or misleading information was provided in the application.
