WEF Volunteer Service Recognition Program

WEF volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization and it is our honor to recognize our outstanding volunteers.

The Community Leadership Council (CLC) and House of Delegates (HOD) created the Volunteer Service Recognition to recognize those members who significantly contribute to the successes and achievements of WEF through service on a WEF Community or the HOD. A Service Recognition Pin will be presented to each recipient in recognition of the honor.
