0,8t GUIDELINES FOR THE VOLUNTEER CEREMONY, NOMINATIONS In order for each local county contact to be able to choose the outstanding Volunteers who best represent individuals meeting community needs, the Governor's Office of Citizen Affairs has set very broad guidelines on the nomination process. The following information is enclosed to try and answer any questions you might have in handling nominations for the Governor's Volunteer Recognition Ceremonies for 1987. CA=EGORIES Because our office received so many favorable responses to last year's ceremonies, we have decided to retain the "four-category system. " We do want to clarify one matter, though. Although the categories G.O.C.A. has set will remain two Community Service Volunteers, one School Volunteer and one Volunteer Organization, you may choose any combination of these four in order to nominate from your county. A few suggestions that were related through evaluations indicated that a senior citizen category or a youth category might be a good idea instead of a school Volunteer category. It is. gntir@ly up to you and/or your committee as to what Q tegory. of citizen you would like to honor this year. You could choose, for example, three organizations and a youth Volunteer ac two senior citizens and two organizations at four school Volunteers. The choice is in your hands, because Governor Martin feels as though you know best who has been meeting the needs of your neighbors as Volunteers. DATES AND PLACES OF THREE REGIONAL CEREMONIES The regional ceremonies were very well-received last year, so we are planning once again to hold three ceremonies. We have not finalized where the receptions and ceremonies will be held, and although we will plan once again to have fall events, we do not have the tentative dates as of this writing. As soon as the Governor's schedule has been set, you will be the first to know. For now, plan for the fall! NOMINATION FORMS You will find enclosed in this mailing your official nomination form. As noted, please fill this out as completely and accurately as possible, because the names you print, as well as the addresses, will be the ones distributed:to the news media and printed on the certificates. The MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT section needs to contain a very, very brief description of the award winner's most impressive Volunteer accomplishment.
