Each year, the Office of Neighborhoods accepts nominations for the
Diana Conn Good Neighbor of the Year Award, which is presented annually to a City of Knoxville resident who -- in the spirit of cooperation and with commitment to inclusive community -- has devoted time and talent in service to his or her neighbors and neighborhood.
The nominees are honored at
the annual Neighborhood Conference. Mayor Indya Kincannon will honor the winner, who is selected by a committee of the Neighborhood Advisory Council.
This award was named for the late Diana Conn and was presented to her posthumously at the 2013 Neighborhood Conference. Diana's son Jim made these
remarks when he accepted the award on behalf of the family. Other details of Diana's life of service can be found in
this article from the weekly newsletter published by the Office of Neighborhoods.
