Nominations for NY-NoJ Chapter Volunteer Recognition Awards!

It's that time of year to recognize those outstanding AMC member volunteers who make the New York-North Jersey Chapter such a special community!

Please submit your nominations for Appie of the Year, Unsung Hero, Ambassador, and Inspirational Volunteer to the Advisory Committee with a short description by Friday, October 24th. Awardees will be announced at the Annual Meeting & Dinner on Saturday, November 15th.

Unsung Hero Award
For an AMC member who supports the chapter in less visible or celebrated ways behind the scenes, such as public service (conservation, trails), communications, editing, committee service, record keeping, etc., this year.

Inspirational Volunteer Award
For an AMC member who embodies the spirit of our chapter and inspires others by leading, mentoring, or encouraging leadership or activity for AMC this year.

Ambassador Award
For an AMC member who encourages others to participate with AMC or promotes AMC and our Chapter by recruiting, speaking for or representing AMC at events (whether virtual, at an outside venue, or related to an activity) this year.

APPIE OF THE YEAR
This special award is for an AMC member who has consistently given selflessly for the good of the club over many years. The awardee is someone who works tirelessly, often behind the scenes, organizing, leading, and mentoring both directly and by example. This member is an active volunteer, rather than someone who served well in the past, and typically volunteers on one or more committees. The Appie exemplifies what is best about the volunteer ethic that makes our Club, and most particularly our Chapter, particularly wonderful.

Email Nominations to Advisory Committee at [advisory@amc-ny.org](mailto:advisory@amc-ny.org) by Friday, October 24th.
