Volunteer Award

The Donna Holt Siemiatkoski Genealogy Volunteer of the Year Award

DHS PhotoThe Donna Holt Siemiatkoski Genealogy Volunteer Award is presented at each conference to an individual who has provided outstanding volunteer service to the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium or its member societies, and as such to the field of genealogy, over and above the job to which they were elected or appointed to do. Donna was a founder of the Descendants of the Founders of Ancient Windsor and served as its first President. She served on the Board of Governors of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, and was their representative to the Federation of Genealogical Societies. She was instrumental in the formation of the Connecticut Professional Genealogists Council. As a delegate to NERGC, Donna encouraged members of New England’s genealogical community to work together for the common good. Following her death in August 2001, NERGC established an award to recognize a person who best personifies Donna’s spirit of volunteerism.

Member societies in NERGC are strongly encouraged to nominate for the 2021 Donna Holt Siemiatkoski Award people whose service to our organizations and consortium follows Donna’s example. Nominations should include a summary of the nominee’s activity and a statement from the nominating organization of the reasons for believing that the nominee is a particularly suitable candidate for the award. Please send all nominating information by November 1, 2020, to NERGC President Dave Robison by e-mail to dave_nergc@oldbones.info, or via the postal service to P.O. Box 164, Chicopee, MA 01021-0164. Thanks to all NERGC organizations for helping us find a good award recipient!
