Sustainer of the Year
Every year since 1958, JLNO has presented the Sustainer of the Year Award to a Sustaining member who exemplifies the organization’s educational and charitable mission. The recipient has a demonstrated commitment to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through her commendable action and leadership. Nominations for the award come from the Sustaining and Active membership, and a committee reviews nominations and letters of support to determine the award.
