2020 Governor's Volunteer Service Award Recipients Announced for Dare County
The local recipients include seven individuals and two groups who have made a significant contribution to the community through volunteer service.
Each year, the Governor of North Carolina recognizes individuals and groups of people who have made a significant contribution to their community through 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 county award coordinators across 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.
Dare County's individual winners of the 2020 Governor's Volunteer Service Award are Dan Otte with the Dare County Center, Kenny Roughton with the Dare County Center, Jake Overton with the Dare County Parks & Recreation Department , Sabrina Flowers with the Dare County Parks & Recreation Department, Patty Privott with Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church, Marsha Brown with the Dare County Veterans Advisory Council and Jennifer Nieman with Dare County Friends of Youth. The two group award winners are the Elizabeth II Volunteer Crew and the Dare County Youth Orchestra. For detailed information on each of Dare County's 2020 recipients, visit darenc.com/2020govawardwinners.
Any individual, group or business from the public, the nonprofit sector or the private sector can be nominated for the Governor's Volunteer Service Award. If you know an individual or a group of people who have given substantial amounts of their time and talent to help others in the community, be sure to submit an application for the 2021 Governor's Volunteer Service Award when nominations open later this year.
