A proclamation is an official public statement made by a government authority, such as the Mayor, to honor and recognize significant events, achievements, or causes within a community or city. It serves as a formal declaration to highlight the importance of these events or contributions.
We do our best to accommodate all requests, but due to high demand, please follow these guidelines:
-
- Mayor Tuerk may issue proclamations for significant city or community events deserving special recognition. These are honorary gestures and hold no legal obligation.
- Requests for proclamations should come from Allentown citizens; requests from outside the city won't be processed.
- Each request is carefully considered, but the Mayor reserves the right to decline or modify requests.
- Please wait for confirmation before making any announcements about a proclamation.
- Proclamations aren't automatically renewed yearly and need to be requested annually.
- There's a limit of three proclamation requests per individual or organization per calendar year.
- To manage the volume of requests, please submit your request at least four weeks prior, but no more than three months before the due date.
