NAACLS to Implement New Volunteer Recognition Program
by Edward Rotchford
Program Services Coordinator

Since 2000, NAACLS has had nearly 450 different volunteers devote their time to reviewing Self-Study Reports, attending site visits and participating in one of NAACLS' programs review committees. Therefore, in order to recognize volunteers for their efforts, NAACLS has implemented a new Volunteer Recognition Program as of May 2007.

A cumulative total of volunteer activities that include paper reviews and site visits will be totaled for each volunteer beginning January 2000 through April 30, 2007. Volunteers will then be recognized based categorically on how many volunteer activities they have participated in.

Volunteers that meet the minimum required amount of Volunteer Activities will fall into Category 1, and will receive a Certificate of Recognition from NAACLS, along with a NAACLS Volunteer Conference Bag. Volunteers that meet the criteria of Category 2 will receive a Certificate of Recognition, along with a $25 Gift Certificate. The most active volunteers will be considered in Category 3, and will receive a Certificate of Recognition, a custom plaque noting volunteer achievements, and will be the subject of a future NAACLS News article detailing that person's accomplishments.

In addition, Volunteer Activities will be continually reviewed every May. If an individual has volunteered enough times to move into a higher category, then that individual will be properly recognized.

NAACLS is proud of the large number of people who willingly volunteer their time and feels this is a most appropriate way of saying "Thank You!"
