Request a Proclamation

Proclamations are issued by the Mayor and Council to celebrate and acknowledge the milestones and achievements of organizations and individuals that reflect and enhance the ideals and principles of the City of Rockville. They are also issued to recognize and raise public awareness about charitable endeavors and events of cultural significance to the City of Rockville and the life of the Rockville community. Proclamations may recognize an event, day, week or month, such as Earth Month.

Proclamations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of the Mayor and Council. No request for a proclamation by an individual or organization has a guarantee of being granted. Proclamations issued by the Mayor and Council do not constitute a personal or civic endorsement by the Mayor and Council or the city.
