Governor Earl Ray Tomblin today encouraged all West Virginians to nominate outstanding individuals, families and organizations for the 2015 Governor’s Service Awards.
“Each year, volunteers across the Mountain State work hard to make service in and around their communities a top priority,” says Tomblin. “The annual Governor’s Service Awards are a wonderful opportunity to recognize those who dedicate countless hours of their time to help those in need and build a brighter future for West Virginia. I encourage everyone to nominate a West Virginian or a group of West Virginians who have gone above and beyond to bring about positive change in their communities and our state.”
The Governor’s Service Awards are coordinated by Volunteer West Virginia, the state’s Commission for National and Community Service, and recognize outstanding individuals, families and organizations for extraordinary service and commitment to their communities.
This year’s award winners will be recognized during the annual state volunteerism conference, Faces of Leadership, in October.
Nomination forms are available at www.volunteerwv.org, or by calling 304-345-0111. Nominations should be submitted online or postmarked by June 9.
