The NSC Annual Volunteer Achievement Award (NAVAA) is awarded to the NSC member who has demonstratively made an exceptional volunteer contribution to the aims, objectives and betterment of the club in the past year. Jump to the Nomination Form.
Volunteerism is a cornerstone of NSC’s foundation and a vital part of the club’s continuing success and growth. Each year, NSC members contribute thousands of hours and their passion to running and maintaining the club for the benefit of their community and fellow members. It is YOU, the members of this club who decide who should be awarded the NAVAA.
The list of club volunteer activities is as many and diverse as the club itself. Examples include the maintenance of clubhouse and grounds, work parties, harbour and yard, organizing member and community events, member sailing programs, club launch/haul-out, regattas, able sail, the website, regalia, and serving on member committees.
Do you know someone who has been an outstanding club volunteer this past year? You can nominate your candidate by completing this online nomination form.
The process to nominate an individual is simple – one member (any member), one nomination vote. The deadline for nominations is per this post.
Nomination votes will be tabulated, and the selected recipient of this year’s award will be announced at either the Fall Information Meeting or at Awards Night (TBD), along with the presentation of the NAVAA trophy.
