The Volunteer of the Year Award

Each year, the Corporate Volunteer Council of Atlanta recognizes outstanding volunteer leadership with the Volunteer of the Year Award, (formerly the Linda Woodworth Award).  Candidates are put forth by individual CVC of Atlanta board directors and must be a (non-board) member in good standing.

Congratulations to our 2025 winner:
