The Citizen of the Year award has a long history in Chariton and Lucas County dating back to the 1940's.

Bill Nielsen, and Mary Stierwalt, Randy Westman.  Dwight and Ruth Vredenburg were Citizens of the Century in 2000. The 2009 Citizen of the Year was announced at the Chamber's Annual Meeting on July 22, 2010.  Randy Westman made the presentation to Byron Welch.
