Joseph Dalton Community
Service Award
This award recognizes and honors Joseph Dalton who served as the President of the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce from 1970 to 2010. The criteria below should be used by those in the community who would like to nominate someone to be considered for this award. The selection committee will use the same criteria to choose one person from the nominations as this year’s recipient.
This is a community service-focused award to honor an individual who has been faithful and loyal to the Saratoga County community for a minimum of 25 years. The individual selected will have proven through their actions to be honorable, ready, relevant, innovative, and versatile, always doing what is right for the community. The individual will have a legacy of being forward deployed, meaning they’ve contributed to the community via volunteering their time, energy, and expertise – not just their money.
Individuals who are ineligible include those who currently work or volunteer on the Chamber’s Board of Directors and those whose work for the community was done as an elected or appointed public official.

In partnership with the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce, a committee of leaders representative of the Saratoga County Impact Sector will accept nominations, review, and select at least one Impact Sector honoree annually. To maintain fairness and impartiality, the members of the Impact Sector Award Committee are not disclosed publicly.
