Just received the Annual Report from the Sun Valley Center for the Arts.  One of the fascinating elements about the report is that it lists volunteers before donors and provides a notation about how each volunteer donated their time and talent.  The report says a lot about an organization and its values.

How does your organization prioritize its recognition of volunteers, donors, sponsors, and in-kind donors?  Is your recognition consistent with the organization’s stated values?  Have you asked each of the aforementioned groups how they wish to be recognized and if the current process matches their expectations?  How have you been personally recognized by other causes that was particularly compelling?
