FishHawk Resident Receives Community Service Award

For the fourth time in Brandon history, the same person in one year has been named both the Key Citizen of the Year and the Alice B. Tompkins Community Service Award recipient.

That honor most recently goes to FishHawk Ranch resident Tammy Holmberg, a past honorary mayor of Brandon, who has held leadership positions at the Center Place Fine Arts & Civic Association and the Rotary Club of Brandon South, among her many other civic, community and commerce associations.

Holmberg, who gave her husband, Paul, credit for his role in supporting and helping her to pay back to the community, received her Alice B. Tompkins recognition at the annual Community Affairs dinners held by the Community Roundtable at Center Place on Feb. 21.

It came weeks after Holmberg received the coveted Key Citizen of the Year Award from the Greater Brandon Chamber of Commerce. She learned of that award at the chamber’s annual membership dinner at The Regent in Riverview, on Feb. 3. (Technically, the Key Citizen award is for 2011, while the Alice B. Tompkins is for 2012, although both awards were granted in the same month.)
