At the heart of our organization, one that has thrived for nearly 130 years, is a vital volunteer core. Indeed, most of the Society’s work is accomplished at the hands of its volunteers.
On an annual basis The Connecticut Horticultural Society presents a Service Award to a deserving member volunteer who exhibits a devotion to the society and its educational mission. That member who has devoted freely of their time, energy and talents to the betterment of the society is honored at the June meeting each year.
The Awards & Scholarship Commitee accepts nominations from the membership at large. A second letter of recommendation must also be received by the committee. They then review and present nominees to the board.
2016 Service Award nominations are due by March 30, 2016 to the Office Administrator : [email protected]
