David Moldrich Outstanding Volunteer
The David Moldrich Outstanding Volunteer Award is named after a dedicated and passionate individual who has contributed voluminous hours of time as a RIMPA Global volunteer.
This award seeks to recognise Board Members, Ambassadors, RIMPA Committee and Working Group Members for their time and contributions to RIMPA Global in the year of the award and is a testament and thanks to the recipient's outstanding commitment to RIMPA Global. It demonstrates and recognises the importance of volunteering and giving back to the industry.
Like the J Eddis Linton award, the David Moldrich Outstanding Volunteer Award is a highlight of the award season and is eagerly anticipated by the industry. It reflects the strong foundation upon which RIMPA Global has been built and continues to grow, and serves as a reminder of the importance of recognising excellence and commitment within the field of records and information management.
