Town of Davidson issued the following announcement on Aug. 19.
The Town of Davidson is now accepting nominations for the G. Jackson Burney Community Service Award through September 30.
The award honors G. Jackson Burney and those who improve the Davidson community through unselfish service. The annual award is presented in late November at a community event at town hall.
Jack was a true friend of Davidson. He led a life dedicated to improving the quality of life for all around him, and that was especially true in his dealings with the town. In his professional life, Burney helped to create the Charlotte Census tracts for the U.S. Department of Commerce, and he managed the Charlotte Chamber Economic Development program for ten years. He was a White House delegate to a conference on Balanced Growth and Economic Development and a technical advisor to the North Carolina Governor’s Conference on Balanced Growth.
In his personal time, Jack founded the Town Message and published several other newsletters, including one for the downtown Davidson organization. Jack provided support for town initiatives by volunteering his organizational, critical analysis, and leadership skills.
