Thank you to all who nominated
The biggest complaint from volunteers across all sports is that they don’t always feel valued so by taking the time to nominate volunteers who work within your club / area you are showing that their hard work and effort does get noticed and is appreciated. This goes a long way towards creating a more rewarding volunteering experience, which will hopefully keep our valued volunteers in the sport for many years to come.
As an association we would like to thank all those who took the time to nominate the volunteers who make a difference to their judo experience. We know that in your opinion the person you nominated is the most deserving and it can sometimes be hard to see why one volunteer has been recognised over another. Rest assured that if you nominated an individual they have been sent a ‘Thank You’ card, detailing who nominated them and why. For many of our volunteers knowing that the hard work and commitment they have given in 2012 is appreciated and has not gone unnoticed by those closest to them is far more rewarding than receiving an award from us as an association.
The Volunteer Development Team have received numerous calls and emails from those nominated saying what an honour it was to receive the cards and how grateful they were to find out that their efforts were valued.
