About the Volunteer of the Quarter Program
In October 2023, the Association of Leadership Programs announced a new recognition program for our volunteers. ALP accepts nominations each quarter and selects four Volunteers of the Quarter. At the year's culmination, a Volunteer of the Year will be chosen by a special committee and recognized annually at the ALP National Conference. This recognition program will run on a July 1 – June 30 cycle.
Nicole Morristell, Executive Director of Leadership Lackawanna (PA), was recognized as the inaugural Volunteer of the Year at the 2024 ALP National Conference in Providence, RI.
