Distinguished Service Award

The Chanhassen Rotary Club is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Distinguished Service Award.


This annual award honors a Chanhassen resident who exemplifies Rotary’s principle of Service Above Self through outstanding volunteer contributions. Nominees may serve at the community, state, national, or international level, but their impact must extend beyond their professional role. We invite you to recognize individuals who go above and beyond to make a difference, those who quietly lead, give generously of their time, and help strengthen our community.


Nominations are due by April 17, 2026, and the honoree will be recognized during Chanhassen’s Fourth of July celebrations.
