The committee helps recognise Maitland's unheralded heroes, those who devote their time in service to the community.
It oversees decision making regarding council's award recipients, such as Australia Day awards, Freeman of the City and the Hall of Fame.
Expressions of interest for two independent community members to join the committee are now open.
In the news:
- Warning signs for mobile speed cameras to return in the Hunter
- It was a fashion extravaganza for a worthy cause
- Emerging writer's script comes to life
- 'Give us some dirt': family calls for help to bring community garden vision to life
- Maitland nurses burnt out, overworked but refusing to give up the fight for ratios
The positions will serve for the remaining period of the current council term.
Maitland mayor Philip Penfold said the committee "helps recognise and honour members of the Maitland community who tirelessly give back, enrich the lives of others or have made a significant contribution to Maitland and its people".
"This is your chance to have a role to play in honouring those who go above and beyond in service of the Maitland community," he said.
Expressions of interest submitted through written, video and audio formats will be accepted until Friday, October 21.
