Each year, we take the time to recognize the incredible time and effort that the chapter volunteers donate so that we can continue to provide programming, professional development and resources to our members. STC CWC is an entirely volunteer-run organization, fueled by the sheer energy and passion that the volunteers bring to every task.
We do our best to thank our volunteers throughout the year, including a formal mention at the May meeting. Last weekend, we also had the volunteer luncheon, which is a chance for incoming and outgoing volunteers to get to know each other and to celebrate another year gone by. These aren’t nearly enough to make up for the countless hours that most volunteers put in, but it’s our way of saying thank you.
We also recognize those volunteers who contribute above and beyond what’s expected, and give them the lofty title of Volunteer of the Year.
The Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to the chapter throughout the year. The chapter wishes to honour exemplary volunteers whose generous contributions of time, energy and ideas demonstrate sustained commitment, enhance the chapter’s service to its members and inspire other to help the chapter thrive.
This year, we were fortunate enough to have TWO recipients of the Volunteer of the Year Award.
We’re always looking for new volunteers, so if you’d like to get involved, please get in touch with our volunteer coordinator, Heather Sommerville. Whether you’d like to take on a few discrete tasks, join a team or spearhead a project, we’ll find something for you to do. It’s a great way to connect with people in the field, develop your skills and make new friends.
Many thanks to everyone who has volunteered this year. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Eagranie Yuh is the immediate past-president of STC CWC. She attended a volunteer meeting in 2008 and, two years later, somehow ended up here. It’s been a wonderful ride.
