For more information regarding the Bureau's Community Relations programs, contact Mona Gandy , director of communications, or Diana Pfaff , community relations manager. The High Spirited Citizen Program was initiated in 1988 by the Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau to recognize and encourage the spirit of volunteerism in the community. Recipients also have the opportunity to discuss community issues with the Mayor at a special breakfast and are further recognized by participation in Irving's Fourth of July and Christmas in the Park parades.
