VOLUNTEER SPIRIT AWARD

In 2000, the CTAM Board of Directors created this award as a way for CTAM to express appreciation to those who have volunteered their time on behalf of CTAM. Nominations for this award can only be made by the CTAM Board of Directors. No current member of the Board is eligible. No one can be nominated if they have served on the Board of Directors within twelve months of the nomination.
