Collapse ▲For showing outstanding commitment to not only 4-H but the improvement of Brunswick County Citizens, Brunswick County 4-H Teens in Leadership Training Youth Volunteers were the only group recipient of the Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service. Four of the fifteen youth volunteers attended the Governor’s Medallion Awards Ceremony on Monday, May 4, 2018, at the State Capitol in Raleigh, NC. The award was received from Governor Cooper’s wife in his absence. Jillian Bowling, Sydney Blair, Bobbi Jane Lawrence, and Matthew Robles accepted the award from the First Lady they were accompanied by their TiLT youth volunteer coordinator Angie Lawrence and State 4-H staff Amy Chilcote.
The 2017 Governor’s Medallion Award for Volunteer Service was implemented in 2006 to recognize the top 20-25 volunteers in the state. Medallion recipients are nominated at the county level by the county award coordinator. Only one Medallion nomination is permitted per county. A statewide panel reviews and evaluates all these nominations to determine the award recipients. Medallion Award recipients are honored at an annual recognition ceremony. The medallion is placed around the neck to signify the volunteer’s great service to the community.
