Impact Award for Susan Sanow

Susan Sanow, CVA, Senior Manager, Special Programs and Training at Volunteer Fairfax has received national recognition for exemplary leadership in volunteer engagement. Susan Sanow earned the Impact Award, presented in October of 2022 by the Association of Leaders in Volunteer Engagement (AL!VE) in the Exemplary Leader category, for her efforts to provide a quality volunteer engagement program at Volunteer Fairfax, willingness to network, mentor or collaborate with their peers, advocate for the profession, and involvement at the national and/or local level with volunteer engagement professionals. 

“When thinking of who made an impact for the field of volunteer engagement, I chose to nominate Susan for this recognition because of her integrity, honesty and dedication to this important work,” said Corina Sadler, CVA, National Service Commissioner and Volunteer Resources Supervisor, City of Plano, Texas. “All the way from Texas I saw Susan’s beacon of light as a trainer and leader during 2020 and she didn’t stop there. She brought her expertise and humor to national conference stages and created safe spaces for professionals to gather and express what their challenges have been through Volunteer Fairfax programs.” 

AL!VE will provide a cash award to Susan Sanow that she may use for professional development expenses, such as continuing education, books, resources, or to pursue an international professional credential for those who manage volunteers and/or programs.
