The Rowlett City Council recognized Dr. James Fowler III with a proclamation during Tuesday's regular session.
Dr. Fowler was recently presented with the Five Outstanding Young Texans award by the Texas Junior Chamber of Commerce.
"None of this would be possible without the people behind me," Fowler said. "(My wife and I) want to be in a town where we can make a difference. I look forward to the future. This is an honor and a blessing."
Fowler was recognized for his philanthropic work and community service for the city of Rowlett. He was nominated by Leisa Peebles, a past member of the Garland Jaycees and a senator in the Jaycee organization. Peebles serves with Fowler on the Downtown Main Street Committee and has been impressed with his enthusiasm, dedication and willingness to work with local community and non-profit organizations in Rowlett.
"Dr. Fowler brings a fresh approach to the community," she said, "and has become a well-respected and much-liked contributor to the community."
