Outstanding Society Volunteer Award
The Society has begun an Outstanding Society Volunteer Award, to be selected through the Membership Committee. The award’s purpose is to recognize an individual whose dedication to the society is evidenced by their volunteer participation. The nominee must be a CPA member in good standing, who participates in the society on a volunteer basis. To apply for the award or nominate another member, simply send a brief letter or email to the Society office; there’s no need to list volunteer service details, other than local convention and chapter activity. To nominate or apply for any of these awards, simply contact the Society office.
