Volunteer of the Year Award

The Town Council is calling for nominations for the Town’s first-ever Volunteer of the Year Award, honoring those who make a difference in our town. The award is sponsored by the Friends of the San Anselmo Volunteer Effort (SAVE). Selection of the award winner will be based on the following criteria: • The significance of the volunteer’s accomplishments, whether past or present. • The quality, scale and duration of the benefits to the community resulting from the individual’s accomplishments; • The amount of time and energy devoted to the community beyond the scope of normal volunteer responsibilities; • The extent of previous recognition received by the individual (e.g. the extent to which the nominee is an “unsung” hero). The winner will be chosen by a Selection Committee that will be composed of two Town Councilmembers, selected by the Mayor, two staff members and a Friend of SAVE. The Committee will hold a meeting to discuss the qualifications of the award nominees and to select the award winner. Nominees should be current and active volunteers for the Town of San Anselmo. At the Committee’s discretion, two outstanding volunteers may be selected to receive an award in the event of a “tie,” or the award may be given to a group representing a team accomplishment. The Volunteer of the Year award winner will be honored on Sunday, June 30, at a special Volunteer Recognition Event, designed to honor the Town’s many volunteers and their valuable contributions to our community. To nominate a special volunteer for this award, go to www.townofsananselmo.org, and go to the News Flash section entitled Volunteer of the Year Award. The deadline for nominations is Thursday, May 30, at 3 p.m.
