The National Charity League, Nutmeg Chapter, has become one of the few certifying organizations in Ridgefield to offer the benefit of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award to its members.
Established in 2003, the award is given only individuals or groups who have met or exceeded requirements for service and have demonstrated exemplary citizenship through volunteering.
As a certifying organization, the chapter is now one of thousands of organizations that can honor its member volunteers with the award.
NCL Nutmeg had to meet the criteria in order to offer it to its members, which includes the ability to approve, review, and verify volunteer hours, confirm eligibility and distribute the awards.
Tiffany Carlson, chapter president, said that, “We are very proud of the accomplishments of our chapter and having this award available to recognize the outstanding achievements of our members speaks volumes to our commitment to our community, the philanthropies we serve, and our country.”
