David Moldrich Outstanding Volunteer

2023 Winner

Carolyn Atkinson MRIM

Carolyn Atkinson's volunteer journey with RIMPA since 2018 highlights her unwavering commitment and transformative leadership in the Records and Information Management profession. Starting as a Branch Councillor during the WA Branch's critical rebuilding phase, she rapidly assumed the roles of Vice President, Events and Marketing Coordinator, and later, WA Branch President and Director. Carolyn's tenure was marked by significant contributions to RIMPA's transition to a global entity, including developing training workshops, revising the constitution, and producing podcasts. Her leadership revitalised the WA Branch into a dynamic hub, fostering a culture of innovation, skill development, and collective achievement. Through sharing personal stories and acknowledging the efforts of fellow volunteers, Carolyn has deepened connections within the RIMPA community, inspiring continued volunteerism and professional growth. This journey has not only enhanced Carolyn's professional network and skill set but also nurtured her resilience, empathy, and commitment, making her a distinguished figure in her field.

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.
