NOMINATIONS are now open for the 2022 Greater Shepparton Volunteer Recognition Awards.
Now in their 13th year, the volunteer awards aim to recognise and thank volunteers who have contributed their time and energy to the community.
The 2022 awards feature an additional two categories, to celebrate the remarkable and outstanding contribution individuals and groups/organisations made during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The additional categories will apply for the 2022 year only.
Nominations can be made under six categories including:
Young volunteer (12 to 25 years)
Adult volunteer (26 years and over)
Volunteer team (a group of 2 or more people)
Long serving volunteer (15 years or more)
Pandemic response individual
Pandemic response group/organisation
Greater Shepparton Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keefe, said those willing to donate their time and effort are the foundation upon which the Greater Shepparton community has been built on.
“This year particularly is very exciting. The Pandemic Response categories have been added to celebrate those individuals and groups who made a positive difference in their local neighbourhood or an organisation/group that had influence across Greater Shepparton.”
“We strongly encourage anyone who knows of a volunteer to nominate them for an award so they can be recognised for their contribution to our community.” Cr O’Keefe said.
Nominations close on Friday 25 February 2022.
The Volunteer Recognition Award nomination form, guidelines and eligibility criteria can be found on Council’s website at: https://greatershepparton.com.au/community/neighbourhoods/awards/volunteer-awards
