2010 Pittsford PTSA Life Membership Awards Congratulations PSCD-PTSA Honorary Life Membership Award Honorees for 2010: Mary Reilly, Valerie Baum, Beth Klein, Rusty Madden, Parul Patel, Joani Moffett, and the late Karen Steele. All the honorees are deserving of their recognition as a PTSA Life Member for the countless hours of time and energy they have devoted to the youth in our community. Each year since 1949, the Pittsford PTSA has awarded Honorary Life Membership in the New York State PTA to outstanding individuals in our community. The awards recognize the dedication and extraordinary efforts of recipients who have shown exemplary volunteer and/or professional commitment to the service of young people. A three-phase process will be used to consider each nominee for this award. Each phase is distinct, independent, and must be completed before proceeding to the next phase. ¨ Phase 1: Pre-nomination application The sponsor need only complete the attached pre-nomination application, providing the name of the nominee, his/her volunteer activities, and a brief paragraph describing how the nominee meets the criteria for the PTSA Life Membership Award. The application will be reviewed by the committee; only those meeting the criteria will be invited to proceed to Phase 2. Those eliminated after Phase 1 are welcome to reapply next year or seek other avenues of recognition. Deadline for Phase 1: December 7, 2009 ¨ Phase 2: Nomination with support letters If the review committee decides that the nominee meets the minimum criteria for the PTSA Life Membership Award, the sponsor will be asked to submit at least seven letters of support, one from the sponsor and six from others.

The letters must detail how the nominee has made extended and significant contributions to enhancing the lives of youth in our community.
