A career of service to the region has been recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the PA Route 6 Alliance.
Warren County Planner Dan Glotz was recognized with the award during the Alliance's annual meeting last week.
"He's very, very well-deserving of the award," Alliance Executive Director Candace Sturdevant ww. "Anytime you hear Dan's name, there's always good stuff. He's a great guy."
This is one of six "Do 6" awards that the Alliance presents annually. Other recognitions include the Heritage Partnership Award, Heritage Tourism Award, Artisan of the Year, Heritage Leadership Award and Heritage Community of the Year.
The awards not lifetime achievement include invitations beforehand but this award is kept a pretty closely-guarded secret.
"Sometimes it's tricky to get the lifetime achievement" to attend, she added. "It was really unique the way that he was presented."
His award was saved for last.
Glotz said he was asked to come up and help with the presentation. When he was making his way to the front of the room, the real reason he was coming up was revealed.
"Wow," he said. "(I) had no idea."
Here's the award description from the Alliance: "In his role as Warren County Planner, Dan has been instrumental in helping many initiatives get off the ground.
He has a clear understanding of the impact of heritage tourism and outdoor recreation on the local economy and quality of life. Along with the many great projects he has helped develop in Warren County, he has also worked to get a 4-county section of PA Route 6 designated as a National Scenic Byway. Dan has served as Vice President on the Board of Directors for PA Route 6 Alliance and will assume the role as President following this year's Annual Meeting in Mansfield."
Sturdevant noted that this was the second time Glotz was recognized by the organization, receiving a leadership award in 2w018.
Looking at the other awards, the Heritage Community of the Year award went to Corry, Pa.
"The Corry community works to honor the past, celebrate the present, and embrace the future through recently completed and ongoing projects to transform their city into a four-season destination, enhancing its small-town charm," according to an award brochure. "Corry also boasts a National Historical Designation registration, announced in 2022.
"Corry flourishes as groups work together for the greater good to complete meaningful projects. The visible results and sustained energy from community members and groups have drawn attention to Corry as a welcoming and engaging place to live, work, and visit."
