AWARD WINNING WORKPLACE CAMPAIGNS FROM 2010 (we will name new award winners at our Annual Dinner and Awards Celebration next May)
Four major awards are made at the end of each Community Campaign, with the Campaign of the Year being the most prestigeous. The 2010 Campaign of the Year Award was made to Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC). In his presentation of the award, Scott Johnstone -- Chair of the 2010 Campaign said, "“VSAC faced – and continues to deal with -- some tough realities of our economy and changes in funding. At a time when many would say, “Sorry, the morale is low ... they had their
boldest campaign ever, ... increasing participation by 17% over last year and employee giving by 14%.” Kudos to VSAC!
