Proclamation Request

The Mayor may claim events or "Days" that are of interest or benefit to the Town of Carrboro. Proclamations are a service the Mayor provides to Carrboro residents to honor and celebrate people, groups, and events. The Mayor issues proclamations that have a direct relationship to the Town of Carrboro and reflect civic activity, pride, and accomplishments. Occasionally, proclamations honor specific individuals in the community. The Mayor's Office does not issue proclamations as part of national campaigns, for national organization, or for issues or groups completely unrelated to the Town.

Submission Procedure
To request a proclamation please fill out the form below. The proclamation request must be submitted to the Mayor's Office 30 days prior to the proclamation request date. If requests are not made 30 days in advance, every attempt will be made to complete your proclamation but we cannot guarantee you will have it in the requested time frame. Requests should include a draft proclamation, the name, email, phone number of the contact person, and any additional relevant information about the event, organization or person which is the subject of the proclamation.
