Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Community Service Commission are encouraging Michiganders to nominate individuals, businesses and organizations that have made a difference for others for the 2024 Governor’s Service Awards.
The Governor’s Service Awards ceremony is an annual statewide recognition event acknowledging the contributions made by Michigan volunteers.
“The Governor’s Service Awards honor exceptional Michiganders who make Michigan a better place to live, work, and play,” said Whitmer. “By recognizing volunteers who go above and beyond, we can all be inspired by the power of their example and give back in our own ways too. I encourage every Michigander to find a way to serve their community and submit nominations of exemplary Michiganders for these awards.”
The awards will honor organizations, individuals and businesses in several categories including volunteerism, national service and philanthropy. To recognize those who go above and beyond, Michigan’s governors have presented the Governor’s Service Awards since 1994.
“Michigan has a long tradition of service and helping others,” said Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Director Ginna Holmes. “We ask that you share the stories of those around you serving others and making a difference in people’s lives.”
The deadline to submit a nomination is April 5.
The Michigan Community Service Commission supports Michigan volunteers, organizations and businesses that are committed to service and play a critical role in improving the lives of people and our communities.
