1993 VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT AWARD
The first award for Volunteer Management was presented to Lydia Winkler of KRMA
by the award namesake, Dorothy Kemps.
The award was initially titled "The Dorothy Kemps Lifetime Achievement Award in Volunteer Management."
Presentation Narrative, 1993:
Lydia Winkler has tremendous understanding, empathy and sincere compassion for all 2500 volunteers at KRMA. Before becoming a staff member, she was a KRMA volunteer. During eleven years as Volunteer Manager, she has daily shown her loyalty to volunteers. She makes each one feel special and welcome at KRMA.
Lydia has the ability to juggle 500 things simultaneously in the Volunteer Office while giving the impression of not being the slightest bit stressed. She always attends the many volunteer committee meetings, even those in the evening or on the weekend.
Volunteers are encouraged by her to tackle new chairmanships, to use their creative skills and to learn new skills. Volunteers know that if a problem arises between them and staff, they can rely on Lydia for advice, support or intervention.
This (1993) is the first NFPB annual meeting Lydia has attended. Because of budget limitations, she forfeited her attendance and invited a volunteer to go in her stead. This truly demonstrates her concern for volunteers!
