Veteran Volunteers of the Year

The Veteran Volunteer of the Year Award honors those who have demonstrated outstanding service to veterans and military members in need. We know that our programs could not exist without our volunteers, and this award is a way to recognize that and honor those outstanding volunteers among our members who make things happen.

To be eligible for this award, the nominee must volunteer to serve veterans in their state. This can be through the Elks Voluntary Service (aka VAVS) program, as a Lodge Veterans Chair, as a State Veterans Chair, or in another capacity. All Elks members and their spouses are eligible for the award, as long as they are engaged in direct service to veterans and military members in need. A volunteer can only receive this award once.​
