Nominations for Madison’s Family of the Year are now open.

The Madison Family of the Year program recognizes those families in the community that maintain exceptional traits and support activities and programs, which make the Madison a quality place to live. Madison is nationally recognized as one of the Top 10 Places to Grow Up in America.
