TRYON–Nominations are now being accepted for the 2023 Governor’s Volunteer 

Service Award. 

 

The awards program, created by the Office of the Governor in 1979, recognizes North Carolina’s most dedicated volunteers. Through the years, the award has been bestowed on thousands of North Carolinians who have shown concern and compassion for their neighbors by volunteering in their local community. 

 

Each county selects up to ten individuals, businesses, groups/teams and one paid Director of Volunteers to be recognized for their outstanding contributions to their communities. One of the nominees will be nominated for the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service, which is awarded to approximately the top 20 volunteers in the state. A local committee evaluates the nominations.

 

Nomination forms are available in Polk County at the Polk County Community Foundation, located at 255 South Trade Street in Tryon, and online at www.volunteering.org.

 

Please return the completed forms to Ronette C. Dill, 255 South Trade Street, Tryon, NC, 28782, no later than January 31, 2023.
