 Dare County Residents Receive 2022 N.C. Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards
The 2022 North Carolina Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards were presented to nine Dare County residents at the Dare County Board of Commissioners meeting that was held at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
Each year, the Governor of North Carolina recognizes individuals and groups of people who have made a significant contribution to their community through their dedication to volunteer service.
Nominations are submitted to the governor’s office for the various types of volunteers (senior, youth, faith-based, family, group and business) as well as for various categories that are based upon the area of service a nominee volunteers within (animal, environmental, preservation, youth, disaster, etc.).
Once award coordinators for the 100 counties around the state have submitted their top 10 volunteer nominations for their individual county, these recommendations are reviewed by the commission, and awards are given out in each of the counties.
