Honorary Service Awards are designed as a unique way for PTA units, councils and districts to publicly acknowledge both individuals and organizations for outstanding community service to children and youth. All funds collected with this program are used exclusively to support the California State PTA scholarship and grant programs. The HSA program includes the Very Special Person Award, Honorary Service Award, Continuing Service Award, Golden Oak Service Award, and the Elected Official Honorary Service Award.
The applicant(s) being considered should be recognized for outstanding service to children and youth in the First District PTA region and not for routine, assigned responsibilities or for retirement. Remember to consider those who work behind the scenes quietly and efficiently serving youth.
In considering candidates for the First District PTA Honorary Services Award recipients, we need your input. In the space below, please nominate an individual or organization and describe in full the contributions they have made for children and youth.
Award to be considered for:
- VSP - Very Special Person Award -
To recognize an individual or organization for their service to PTA.
- HSA - Honorary Service Award - To recognize an individual or organization for outstanding service to children and youth in our community, going above and beyond what is asked of them.
- CSA - Continuing Service Award - To recognize an individual or organization for ongoing or long-time service to children and youth, providing support year after year.
- EOHSA - Elected Official Honorary Service Award - To recognize an elected official for outstanding policy work and/or legislation that positively impacts the lives of children. This award may be given at the local, state or federal level. This award is not to be used as an endorsement of any elected official, but to celebrate the work of the elected official.
- GOSA - Golden Oak Service Award - To recognize, as the most prestigious of the Honorary Service Awards, an individual or organization that has made significant contributions to the welfare of children and youth in a school or community.
Submissions are due by March 15, 2024 to Lenka Kendall, First District PTA HSA Chairperson, at Districtevents@pta1.org.
