Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards

Fourth Annual Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards on February 27, 2012

The Governor's Volunteer Stars Awards is an initiative from Volunteer Tennessee that seeks to recognize outstanding volunteers from each of Tennessee's 95 counties. With the program now in its fourth year, participating counties conducted a call for nominations and named one outstanding youth and one outstanding adult volunteer. Those named 2011 Governor's Volunteer Stars will gather in Franklin on February 27, 2012 to be honored and celebrate volunteerism in Tennessee. Please check back soon for additional details for the event.
