Pat Gustke

Sustainer of the Year Award

2017 Nomination Form

Award Description: Each year, the Pat Gustke Sustainer of the Year award is given up to three League Su8stainers who embody the League’s Mission. Winners display a sustained commitment to their volunteer work and serve as inspirational role models for all members of the League and our community. Sustainers may be nominated for a single community contribution or the total scope of their volunteer involvement. The winner(s) will be honored at the Spring Sustainer Dinner on May 18, 2017, and presented with a cash stipend for the organization of the winner’s choice. Because this award honors volunteer efforts, time spent in paid positions will not be considered. The Nomination Form is also available on the JLSJ website.

Nominees will be evaluated on the basis of the written information submitted with this nomination. A maximum of three pages of written support materials may be included (i.e. a letter of support from an organization in which the Sustainer is involved, printed news articles about the Sustainer’s accomplishments, etc.) Prior Pat Gustke Sustainer of the Year Award Winners are not eligible.

Chair: Margaret E. Nanda
