Call for Nominations for the High Summit Honor Society

The purpose of the High Summit Honor Society is to honor those Genesee Valley Chapter volunteers who have gone above and beyond in their volunteer contribution to the Chapter over a period of time exceeding ten years.

The selection committee is headed by the Past Chair and consists of all of the elected officers of the Chapter as well as up to four additional members selected by the committee. They are responsible for accepting nominations, and selection into the HSHS. At this time, the additional members have not been selected. The GVC website will update you on those member's names.

We are now accepting nominations for our seventh class of honorees to be inducted into the High Summit Honor Society. You can use the pdf form downloaded from here on the chapter's web site. The form will also be published in the April Geneseean. The nominees should be a member (or former member) you feel deserves the honor. The guidelines limit us to a maximum of five new members each year. If you made a written nomination last year and your nominee was not selected, that nomination will automatically be considered again this year. Please check the Chapter's website listing the 28 inductees from the past six years.

We ask that all nominations be submitted by the end of April. Please mail them to Deni Charpentier, 1 Madaket Drive, Penfield, NY 14526 or e-mail to denicharp@aol.com. You can also e-mail nominations to any member of the selection committee. Once selected, you will find the e-mail addresses of the committee members on the Chapter's website.

Induction of the seventh class of honorees will take place at the September Chapter meeting.

Deni Charpentier, Selection Committee Chair
