 LeaderCorps Members,

Please help us disseminate the following message to as many people as

The bipartisan Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community
Service presents

The Governor s Volunteer Service Awards. These awards recognize individual
volunteers

through a statewide award program to highlight the importance of
volunteerism and

community service in the State of Illinois.



Individual awards will be provided to one Youth (18 & under), one Adult
(19-54 yrs.) and

one Retiree/Senior (55+ yrs.) in each of the Commission s five service
regions across the

state (Northeast, Northwest, East Central, West Central and Southern
Illinois). Five

categories will be given special priority, in alignment with priority areas
as defined by the

Corporation for National and Community Service: Economic Opportunity,
Education,

Environmental Conservation, Health, and Veterans Affairs.



Spring 2010 nominations will be accepted through March 19, 2010 and winners
will be notified no later than April 2, 2010. The Governor and Serve
Illinois Commission will host a luncheon at the Executive Mansion in
Springfield, Illinois to honor the 2010 Governor s Volunteer Service Award
recipients on April 12, 2010.



The Commission continues planning for a series of National Service awards
also in the coming year. Please stay tuned to this web page for more
information about application and selection procedures to be implemented by
the Commission for National Service members serving in Illinois.
