Across the country hundreds of organizations and businesses will be nominating candidates for the 2012 Presidential Lifetime of Volunteer Service Awards.  Mayflower RSVP, a designated national Certifying Organization, is seeking nominations from Plymouth County residents who meet or exceed the criteria for this prestigious award. Volunteers, and guests, will be honored at an awards dinner in the early fall. 

Award Criteria:  The volunteer must have served at least 4,000 hours as of 12/31/2011.

  1. Volunteer service hours can be accumulated through a variety of organizations throughout a volunteer’s lifetime; organizations outside Plymouth County are accepted. 
  2. The Lifetime Award is only presented once, even as the nominee continues volunteering after receiving the award.

 Nominations:

  1. The attached Nomination form must be filled out and received by Mayflower RSVP no later than June 25th.  It is very important to address how the individual has impacted people’s lives in the required narrative (200 word max).  There is no fee to nominate someone.
  2. Mayflower RSVP reviews all nominations and certifies service hours.
  3. Award recipients, and their nominating entity, are notified by Mayflower RSVP late summer.

 Who in your company or social circle is a special volunteer that you would like to recognize?  Do you know an extraordinary volunteer that you would like to distinguish?  Nominating a volunteer is a powerful way to honor their lifetime of dedication to helping others.
