We're thrilled to celebrate one of our very own! 💚
Congratulations to our incredible volunteer, Doug, on being named the Volunteer of the Year by the Providers' Council Awards of Excellence!
This honor recognizes Doug's unwavering commitment to the human services community and the countless ways he has supported Novus and our members. Nominated by our own Lynn Fanale, this award is a reflection of the compassion, generosity, and dedication Doug brings to everything he does.
When our Clubhouse community gathered to surprise Doug with the news, his response perfectly captured why he is so deserving of this recognition:
"Whatever you all say you get from me, I get back a thousand times over."
That simple sentiment says it all. Doug reminds us that volunteering isn't just about giving. It's about building relationships, finding purpose, and creating a community where everyone is enriched.
Doug, thank you for sharing your time, your talents, and your heart with all of us at Novus. Your kindness has made a lasting impact on our members, our staff, and everyone fortunate enough to know you.
Please join us in congratulating Doug on this well-deserved honor!
Together, Change Happens.
