The Community Service Recognition Awards

Purpose
The Community Service Recognition Awards recognize ODA members who, through exceptional efforts, have made outstanding contributions to the well-being of their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward. Through their caring and personal sacrifice, they have reached out to make a difference in the lives of others.

Two Awards will be presented, recognizing outstanding service to the local community (Community), and outstanding professional service to the local community (Professional).

Criteria
These Awards will be presented to ODA members who have contributed to a program that improves the liveability of a community. Monetary donations alone are not considered to be contributions or volunteerism to the community. Members will have demonstrated significant acts of generosity or kindness for the betterment of the community and to the lives of others. For the Non-Oral Health related Award, this may include such things as youth mentoring or helping the less fortunate. For the Oral Health related Award, this could include donating of professional services to the less fortunate. The roles and responsibilities of the members’ service to the community should be identified. Community can be a neighborhood, charity, school or other group. Nominees embody community pride and values while maintaining their professional identities.

Award
This Award consists of a personalized, framed certificate and is presented by the President of the local Component Society at a Component Society awards evening or meeting.
