Member Awards

Outstanding Volunteer | Spirit of PSALA Awards| Spirit of ALA Award

PSALA is proud of our members.  We have a very involved membership committed to both our Chapter and their firms.  In addition to the demands of their jobs within their firms, each of our Board members and many other members at-large volunteer additional hours of their time each month to help ensure we bring quality programs and events to everyone in our membership.  We thank each and every one who works so hard to run this Chapter.

We often have members that go far above and beyond their regular role as volunteer and/or Board member.  The Chapter has created two awards to recognize such individual contributions, the Outstanding Volunteer Award, and the Spirit of PSALA Award.

Please take a few minutes to review the downloads containing the criteria for each of these awards.  If you feel that one or more PSALA member(s) are deserving of either of the individual award(s), please email your nomination to the Chapter President along with a few words explaining the reasons for your nomination.

 

Outstanding Volunteer Award

From time to time, an individual Chapter member is presented with the Outstanding Volunteer Award.  This is presented to an individual that goes far above and beyond normal volunteer activities on behalf of the Chapter, either through ongoing efforts or a particular project.
