🏆 Volunteer of the Year Award 🏆

Each NCPC Premier Plus/Premier/Sustaining/Small Business/Organizational member is invited and encouraged to select a “Volunteer of the Year”.

Their volunteer service is innovative or exemplary, helped mobilized other volunteers, and/or generated increased resources for the critical mission of the nonprofit organization.

🏆 Spirit of Carol Sigelman Award 🏆

As a tribute to the life and work of Carol Sigelman, former NCPC board member and friend, this award is presented to a development professional in North San Diego County who exemplifies the passion, integrity, wisdom and humor that Carol brought to all of us, as well as demonstrates a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in their development and communications activities at their nonprofit. Carol’s motto was “Get the job done – and done well”.
