Volunteer Awards

Volunteering is the glue that binds our community association. All of our events, fundraisers, and programs are organized by our volunteers. We have some amazing volunteers and we would like to acknowledge them.

Volunteer of the Year award – adult

The PLDCA Volunteer of the Year Award will be presented to one of our community volunteers at the community’s summer BBQ.
It is easy to nominate someone.

  1. Nominations may be submitted by any PLDCA member.
  2. Nominations will be accepted throughout the year.
  3. Nominees may be an individual, family, or business who has a current PLDCA membership.

Nominations should include the name of the nominee and a brief (e.g., 1-2 paragraph) description of the volunteer’s recent contributions to our community.  
This is the time to acknowledge and celebrate our volunteers, so get your nominations in. The PLDCA Board will review the nominations annually and select a winner.
