Walk of Recognition

The Walk of Recognition inductees are individuals and organizations who have demonstrated a significant long-term  commitment to serving the interest of Boca Raton and enriching the lives of its residents. Since its inception in 1997, these deserving residents have received their "stars" for this prestigious community award.

A cornerstone of the community and supporter of numerous organizations in the area, Marta Batmasian originally conceived of the  award, which has become an annual community program organized and maintained by the Boca Raton Historical Society and The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum. An independent panel of judges reviews each application and selects two or three outstanding community leaders. Each of the recipients will have their names carved into a black granite star and  placed on the Walk of Recognition monument at Royal Palm Place.

Application for Nominations are due no later than September 19th, 2022.
