Volunteer of the Year: George Zimmerman
© 2006 Paolo VesciaThis year POST honored George Zimmerman of San Mateo with the 2011 Volunteer of the Year Award at an event held at POST's offices on March 31. He was chosen from among 200 POST volunteers for his extraordinary behind-the-scenes contributions to POST.
An experienced volunteer, George helped found POST's Skyline Society Committee seven years ago with Senior Development Officer Daphne Muehle.
Says Daphne, "George is so knowledgeable of how volunteer committees should function and how to keep them motivated. He has a wonderful way with the other donors and clearly loves his role as an ambassador for POST."
A retired assistant planning director for the City of Palo Alto, George was also one of the first donors to join POST's Open Space Legacy Society (OSLS) when he included POST in his estate plans. He became our first spokesperson for OSLS and helped create a special donor mailing encouraging others to include POST in their estate plans.
"In his roles as a Skyline Society Committee member and a lead volunteer for the Open Space Legacy Society, George brings graciousness, enthusiasm and insight to his work with POST and our supporters, " said POST President Audrey Rust. "Both of these programs have benefited greatly from his contribution and wouldn't be the same without him."
