Recognition Certificates
The Volunteer Excellence Award is a convenient way to recognize the people who devote their time and talent to help your agency or organization fulfill its mission. Simply fill in the individual or group information, as well as that of the date of the recognition ceremony or delivery. By submitting this information, the person completing the form verifies that the receiving party deserves recognition. Please limit acknowledgments to one certificate per volunteer, per year.
To request access to the printable version of this certificate, please email Engage.AR@adhe.edu with your Organization Name, Purpose of Volunteer Recognition, and Number of Volunteers to be Recognized.
The Distinguished Service Award is a resource for elected officials who wish to honor agencies, organizations, or individuals who exemplify the spirit of service within their communities and districts. Recipients of this award directly address an area of unmet need, working to fill gaps in local service provision. Volunteers who receive this prestigious award focus their energy on legacy projects that will strengthen and impact their communities over time. This award is designed to honor organizations and citizens who have turned the tide for good in Arkansas, regardless of the service hours invested or state/national citizenship status.
To request Governor's Award for Volunteer Excellence certificates, please contact EngageAR at 501-537-9722 or email Engage.AR@adhe.edu.
