Leadership Award in Honor of Jane Skrzypek OFFERED BY: New York State PTA APPLICATIONS: Available at www.nyspta.org or by calling 1-877-569-7782 DUE DATE: Postmarked by June 15 to the PTA region director PURPOSE This New York State PTA Award was established in 1991 to honor the memory of Jane Skrzypek. The purpose of this award is to recognize an outstanding leader in your PTA who, by his or her actions, inspires others to volunteer and assume leadership positions. The award is given in recognition of outstanding PTA volunteerism – the recipient must be a member of PTA, volunteer through PTA, volunteer above and beyond the scope of his/her PTA position, and exhibit leadership qualities. NOTE You may wish to honor a volunteer who goes above and beyond the scope of their position – a person you can always rely on to be there when an extra hand is needed. You may honor a volunteer within your unit by presenting them with a Jane Skrzypek Volunteer Pin (available to purchase at the boutique at a cost of $5.00). However, receiving the pin does not make the recipient a Jane Skrzypek Volunteer of the Year Award winner. Only New York State PTA can select a winner.
