Steering Committees

The local Steering Committee is responsible for administering the Award Program in local regions, as directed by the Governing Committee, and it agrees to adhere to established procedures and to use the appropriate Program documentation.

The local Steering Committee is responsible to establish relationships with potential Recognizing Organizations in the respective community in which they serve.  It is also responsible to encourage the nomination of potential Award Recipients from within those Recognizing Organizations participating in the Program, and for managing the nomination process and selection of the Award Recipient(s) who best meet(s) the selection criteria.  If the Committee determines that there is no clear winner or that nominations do not meet established standards, an award may not be presented in that year.

Currently, there are Steering Committees in three south-central Pennsylvania communities -- Lancaster, York, and the Capital Region.
