Living Treasures of Los Alamos Board
Do you know someone you think should be a Living Treasure of Los Alamos? Living Treasures was founded in 1999 by a group of residents who wanted to honor the older people of the community who had done so much to maintain and improve the excellent quality of life in Los Alamos.
Nominations will be accepted through May 31, and the Living Treasures Board of Los Alamos (LTLA) will choose three new Treasures, who will be honored at a ceremony in September 2025. Nominees must be current residents of Los Alamos County. Selection of the new Treasures will be based on letters of nomination from the public; letters should include the following information:
- In which areas did the nominee make volunteer contributions to life in Los Alamos? It is helpful for the packet to include letters from several aspects of a nominee’s service.
- How many years has the nominee been involved in community activities?
- How did the contributions affect people in the community?
- In what ways is Los Alamos a better place as a result of the efforts of this person?
- Contact information (name, phone number, or email) of the submitter.
Nominations must be submitted electronically by May 31 by emailing the information to livingtreasuresla@gmail.com.
Has someone you know already been nominated but not yet selected as a Treasure? This is common because we only honor three people each year. All previous Nomination letters are kept in the Living Treasures files for 10 years. Therefore, if you would like to provide additional documentation in support of a nominee, your letters are helpful to the selection process. You do not need to resubmit the entire nomination. If you are unsure if someone has been nominated in the past, please contact any member of LTLA. Board members are listed on the website (see link below).
The complete list of Treasures and their biographies can be found on the website
