What is the VRE?

The Volunteer Recognition Event (VRE) is an annual awards celebration that recognizes outstanding volunteers and the inspiring contribution they make to Sonoma County.

Each year, nomination forms are distributed throughout the non-profit community.  A panel of judges, convened by the Volunteer Center, evaluates nominations and selects winners.  The winners, their nominator and anyone who would like to share in our community spirit is invited!

For nearly 40 years, the VRE has recognized these outstanding leaders in the volunteer community.  For more information, email Jim Bray at jbray@volunteernow.org or call (707) 568-2567.
