The Inspiration Awards

Celebrating the Power of Volunteerism

Each year, PSNH honors those employees who were nominated for leading their commitment to outstanding volunteerism and making a difference in the communities in which they live and work.

Since the turn of the century, PSNH has celebrated the power of employee volunteerism with its popular Volunteer of the Year (VOY) program. In April 2008, the VOY Program was renamed the Inspiration Awards in recognition of the uncanny way in which volunteerism often motivates others, and allows seasoned and rookie volunteers alike to be included.

The Inspiration Awards honors both teams and individuals for their volunteer work in the previous year. Each award recipient receives a certificate of recognition and a donation to their charity of choice, the amounts of which vary year to year.

Volunteerism Through the Years

PSNH considers volunteerism vital to its corporate culture, and honored the following employees who were chosen for making a positive difference in the communities in which they live and work:
