With great pride we present the recipient of the 2023 Volunteer of the Year Award and the National Volunteer of the Year Award for the Maryland District AAU, Ms. Terri Fulp!
The importance of volunteers cannot be overestimated. Whether the individual acts as a volunteer administrator of an event or contributes his or her time and resources in support of a larger task or tasks.
It is for this reason that the Volunteer of the Year Award was created to recognize those outstanding volunteers whose unselfish and dedicated service to their sport, the Maryland AAU District, and the overall organization of the AAU, has made a significant difference and impact.
Terri is a long-time volunteer that has a passion for wanting to help and share her talents and creativity in any way that she can. Her willingness to share both her time and her talent by volunteering says a lot about who she is. Her willingness to give selflessly to help others speaks to both her strength and the quality of her character.
The fruits of her labor make a tangible impact, of course, but perhaps it is the fact that she is always willing to share her time and talent to lend a helping hand and to show kindness and caring that makes the greatest difference in the lives of the individuals who are touched by her generosity, not only within the AAU family, but her labor and generosity stretches to many families and surrounding communities.
She is that person who loves to work behind the scenes, but her contributions are seen by many. Even when times seem tough, she always finds a way to push through, with a smile, to make someone else smile.
While we know that she chooses to volunteer selflessly and without expectation of being recognized or rewarded, today we wish to do just that. Terri, we want to let you know just how much your dedication is appreciated and to make sure that you know that we are forever grateful for you!
