NPAworldwide has always been based on collaboration and volunteerism. There is no better example of this than the Community Service Award.
The brainchild of Chair-Elect Jim Lyons, this award is now in its third year. Previous winners include Jon Davis of Perfect Fit in Berlin, Connecticut (USA) and Simone Allan of Mondo Search in Sydney Australia. Winners receive a plaque and $1000 towards their project/ charity.
The selection committee was comprised of Jim Lyons (chair elect), Jon Davis (inaugural winner) and Scott King ( former Board Director for AU/NZ). The calibre of entries this year was particularly high. I am proud to announce the committee has awarded this year’s Community Service Award to:
