Nominate Your Outstanding Volunteers for ServeNebraska Step Forward Awards

Organizations, businesses, civic clubs, and schools are encouraged to submit nominations for the annual ServeNebraska (www.serve.nebraska.gov) Step Forward Awards which recognizes outstanding individuals and groups for significant contributions made through volunteerism.  Nominations will be accepted in nine categories including Adult Volunteer, Youth Volunteer, Volunteer Group, Corporate Community Volunteer, National Service Volunteer, Veteran Volunteer, Disaster Volunteer, Community Media Partner and Lifetime Achievement.

“Due to the Labor Day holiday, the nomination deadline has been extended to Friday, September 9, 2016,” stated Rose White of AAA, who serves as a volunteer commissioner for ServeNebraska.  “We encourage Nebraskans to use this opportunity to recognize volunteers who unselfishly serve their community.”

Governor Pete Ricketts is personally involved in this program.  Once the nomination period closes, Governor Ricketts will thoughtfully review submissions and select those deserving of recognition.  The award winners will be honored during a luncheon banquet on Friday, October 28.  To learn more about ServeNebraska or to submit an online nomination, visit www.serve.nebraska.gov.
