News Article Celebrates Volunteers, Recognizes Volunteer Managers

Greg Castano

Each year, the National Association of Volunteer Programs in Local Government (NAVPLG), a NACo affiliate, recognizes exemplary government volunteer administrators, volunteer managers and volunteer programs. The NAVPLG Awards are a great way to bring recognition to volunteer programs and managers of volunteers who work in local government. 
 
NAVPLG members can nominate their volunteer program or volunteer managers for several awards: Outstanding Volunteer Administrator, New Volunteer Administrator and Innovative Volunteer Program. Past award recipients include: Arlington County, Va., Decatur, Ga., Leon County, Fla., Outagamie County, Wis., Plano, Texas, Portland, Ore., Pottsville, Pa., and Salt Lake County, Utah.
 
Not a NAVPLG member, no problem?  NAVPLG’s new Award of Merit recognizes an exemplary volunteer program or administrator and doesn’t require membership to apply. 
 
The awards will be presented at the National Conference for Volunteering & Service in Atlanta, June 16-18. All winners receive a plaque and a complimentary one-year membership to NAVPLG. The deadline for nomination is May 1 and nomination forms and other details are available at www.navplg.org
