Board of County Commissioners

Douglas County Hall of Fame

From neighbors who lend a hand without being asked, to students pushing boundaries in the classroom and on the field to local businesses quietly giving back, Douglas County is filled with people making a difference. The Douglas County Hall of Fame celebrates individuals of all ages who go above and beyond to strengthen our community. Nominees selected by the Board of County Commissioners may be honored with a letter of recognition, at a public meeting, featured here on this page and/or presented with a ceremonial challenge coin, a timeless symbol of exceptional service and achievement.

Know someone making Douglas County better? Use the form below to submit a nomination for the Hall of Fame.

4-H ambassador Wesley Watts was inducted into the Hall of Fame by Commissioners at the 2025 Douglas County Fair & Rodeo Jr. Livestock Sale. Watts is an ambassador in the 4-H community but his influence, inspiration and approach to life are universal.
