2009 LEAF VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION AWARDS
LEAF Lifetime Recognition Award recipient Betty Hopkins
LEAF congratulates this year's recipient of the Eloise Spitzer LEAF Lifetime Recognition Award, Betty Hopkins.
Manitoba-born Betty Hopkins has been a volunteer with LEAF for close to twenty years. Betty began her involvement with LEAF in 1990, and has been active at both the national and provincial Board levels.
As the chair of LEAF Winnipeg-Manitoba, Betty has literally devoted all of her time to LEAF. She is the heart, soul and brain of the organization. In her volunteer capacity, Betty acts as a full-time program developer/coordinator and administrator while ensuring that the branch's governance responsibilities are met. Betty's management philosophy has always been non-hierarchical, consultative, collaborative, collegial and consensus building. Not a day goes by that Betty is not answering phone calls, photocopying, educating, organizing or raising funds for LEAF. At the annual Persons Day breakfast in Winnipeg, Betty personally sells more than half of the thousand tickets sold each year.

congratulations betty!
it was my distinct honour and privilege to work with betty when she chaired the education and branch development committee for the national leaf 'family' for a short but golden time just around ten years ago
i remember her always as one wise woman who mentored me above and beyond
is she an internetter yet ?
[as i recall she was a stalwart and defiant phone&faxonly woman when we were collaborating across time and space way back when]
if not could some one there please arrange for a hard copy of this to be delivered to her with my very best wishes and fond regards?
thank you.
