South Sound Bird Alliance honors one of our volunteers every year with the Volunteer of the Year Award. This person needs to be a South Sound Bird Alliance (SSBA) member, not on our Board of Directors, who contributes to the organization along these guidelines:
ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD:
- The volunteer contributes outstanding long-term service through work that addresses SSBA’s strategic priorities.
AND ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Performs intensive work on one project/activity or extensive involvement on several projects/activities.
- Work demonstrates special creativity or efficiency and has a lasting impact on the functioning of the organization
- Work increases volunteer participation that continues beyond the involvement of the individual volunteer (even when s/he moves on to other projects).
Nominations are requested from chapter members. Submittals should not exceed 500 words; bullet points detailing the nominee’s efforts are appropriate. The Board of Directors will approve the award recipient. Please send submittals to Deb Nickesrson at debranick@gmail.com by April 30th, 2026.
