| The County Council recently requested everyone complete a survey on the recognition & awards program. The results were reviewed and as a result the application is a little shorter, allows for more input from units on programs/events not covered by award categories and we are introducing 2 new awards. The new award categories are Literacy and Outstanding Service Award. Please see below for the Award descriptions and definitions and the Award Applications |
| Awards are due to the County Council by April 16, 2012 The awards ceremony will be at the end of year annual membership appreciation dinner on Friday May 18, 2012. More information to come! |
