Heart Award
2009 winner - George Law, U.S. Geological Survey
This award is given on the basis of effort shown above and beyond the call of duty. The Heart Award was initiated as a vehicle in which to recognize outstanding support that may not fall into the other campaign categories. The recipient of this award must demonstrate tremendous determination and commitment to the Combined Federal Campaign.
The award goes to a person whose positive attitude and strong effort make sure her agency not only meets its goal, but goes beyond it to ensure the campaign is a success. This person does not wait for the CFC materials to be delivered, but takes charge and obtains the materials needed. She may make donation deliveries, make the 100% ask, or spearhead agency donations which result in the agency having double-digit percentage increases from the previous year. All successful teams have strong leaders; ones with a passion for what they are doing.
