SNAG's success depends to a large part on the commitment of its large volunteer base, without which the Society would not be able to offer many of the important and valued services for its membership and the field of metalsmithing overall.

Inspired by the numerous volunteers who dedicate countless hours to SNAG every year, the Board of Directors created The Volunteer Recognition Award, bestowed to publicly acknowledge and honor volunteer contributions to the highest extent. From time to time, the Award shall be bestowed on deserving volunteers to acknowledge their length of service, exemplary initiative, and impact on the SNAG community, based on nominations exclusively by the Board of Directors and the Society's committees.   

We are very pleased to announce that the first recipient of SNAG's Volunteer Recognition Award is Harriete Estel Berman.

Harriete has been an active volunteer for SNAG for well over 10 years, and a SNAG member and supporter for even longer than that. Harriete is best known in the community for her outstanding work on the Professional Development Seminar Leadership Committee which she was part of for many years before becoming its Chair. Harriete's keen interest in professional practices and development opportunities for our field as well as her untiring outreach efforts to every segment of the metalsmithing community make her an exceptional leader and referred to voice in our field. Her open ear for current topics and her critical eye towards providing quality information have paved the way for many of our members' success stories. In her untiring dedication to always deliver excellence on behalf of the Professional Development Program, Harriete is the epitome of volunteer commitment, and the reason why we are so immensely grateful for her service.

Harriete Estel Berman shall receive the 2015 Volunteer Recognition Award at the 2015 SNAG Conference in Boston, MA.
