HSAC AWARDS
Learn more about HSAC community recognition awards.
The Human Services Advisory Council strives to recognize outstanding members of our organization, as well as those working on the community, donating their time and energy to improve their community and the lives of those in it.
Each year we host our HSAC Recognition Luncheon in December, ending the year on a positive note!
If you know a person at an HSAC member agency who goes above and beyond to help the community or you know a worthy volunteer, please nominate them for the Arlene Steege Award or the Volunteer of the Year Award by completing one of the forms below. All nominations are due by October 31st.
