Governor’s Service Awards Seeks Nominations

The Governor’s Service Awards are presented by the Governor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism each year. The Governor’s Service Awards recognizes Marylanders for their significant volunteer contributions to the state and its citizens and their work to change Maryland for the better. This year, the awards will recognize volunteer service during 2018 (or longer for the lifetime achievement award). The awards will be presented to selected recipients and guests at an event in the Fall.

Recipients of the Governor’s Service Awards must exemplify the following characteristics:
– Demonstrate sustained volunteer commitment to meeting Maryland’s most pressing human and/or environmental community needs;
– Engage in meaningful volunteer service that makes a measurable difference in the community;
– Represent extraordinary acts of generosity and kindness; and
– Through volunteerism, have an impact on the greater community.

Important Note: Nominations will not be accepted for youth or youth groups in the Governor’s Service Awards; instead, a new youth awards program recognizing individual youth and youth groups will be announced separately.
