community. culture. service.
Our Herriman community reflects the fabric and traditions of our cultural heritage. It has a culture that includes engaged residents, supportive businesses, invested City staff, and a hub of governmental activity and professional services. Culture is the defining presence of a community, and Herriman is based on community pride, support, engagement, and working together on community solutions.
So many in our community demonstrate this culture, and we want to recognize them for the value they bring to our city. Whether they are a City employee who goes the extra mile to ensure great service, a business that emerges in the community and actively gives back, or a resident who is engaged and involved in the city they call home, we want to acknowledge their efforts and the value they bring to Herriman.
As nominated, the City recognizes individuals for their contributions to the community culture, sharing the good work that they do. We are defined by those who make up this community.
