Volunteer Professionals Award for Excellence

The Volunteer Professionals Award for Excellence recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exemplary service and contribution to the profession of healthcare volunteer management. The award began under the Association for Health Care Volunteer Resource Professionals (AHVRP) in 2006. With the transition of AHVRP into The Beryl Institute community in 2020, we are honored to carry on this tradition of recognition.

  • Has significantly impacted the profession of volunteer management through leadership innovations, implementation of new programs, management, initiatives, authorship, teaching and/or research in healthcare volunteer management.
  • Has contributed time and service to Volunteer Professionals groups, committees or organizations.
