ENF Community Investments Program Volunteer of the Year Award

Do you know an Elk volunteer who uses ENF Community Investments Program grants to do great things? Are you that person? Complete an application for the 2017 CIP Volunteer of the Year!

We want to recognize those people who help to make the Elks the organization John F. Malley envisioned it would be when he founded the ENF in 1928—“a mighty army for the service of mankind.” Since 2012, we’ve been flooded with applications recognizing the kind of dedicated and hard-working Elks volunteers that fuel the Community Investments Program.

The winner will receive formal recognition and a $500 grant to be used for the Lodge charitable purpose of his or her choosing. The CIP Volunteer of the Year will also be invited to attend the 2017 Elks National Convention in Reno, Nevada from July 15-17, expenses paid courtesy of the ENF.
