BROWARD VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION

2012 Volunteer Recognition


Volunteer Broward is Now HandsOn Broward

Picture
NEW LOGO
At the agency’s annual volunteer awards gala last Thursday, October 20, 2011, Volunteer Broward executives and members of the board of directors announced that the organization has changed its name to HandsOn Broward to leverage the national affiliation with the HandsOn Network and expand volunteerism in our community.

This new brand identity will allow the organization to leverage a national 
identity, tap into a vast network of volunteer resources and better deliver on 
the promise to put people at the center of change, as stated by Matt Anthony,
chairman of the HandsOn Broward Board of Directors. The name changed, but the power to serve and enrich the Broward County community remains the same.

Thursday’s announcement came during the agency’s annual Heart of the Community volunteer recognition event.  Heart of the Community recognizes community partners and nonprofit organizations while publicly honoring the individuals who have contributed their time, talents, and energy to Broward organizations.
