|
|
.
For 21 years, the Dominion VITA (Volunteer In the
Arts) Award, coordinated by WQED Multimedia, has honored dedicated individuals
who have given their time and talents to ensure that the arts thrive in our
region. Polish Cultural Council proudly announces that one of this year’s awardees is our own Chairman
of the Board – Rick Pierchalski!
The Dominion VITA Award was established in 1988 to
recognize the efforts of volunteers of all ages who give of themselves to help
keep arts and cultural programs in Western Pennsylvania alive and
thriving.
Each year, VITA awardees are selected from hundreds
of nominations received. A committee of Pittsburgh area professionals interested
in cultivating the invaluable volunteer arts force selects the
winners.
The VITA Awards showcase the importance of volunteers
to our community”, said Deborah L. Acklin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of WQED Multimedia. “They are the backbone of any nonprofit organization,
and they have been responsible for the success of WQED and many arts organizations throughout the region.”
Our warmest congratulations, Rick! PCC would not be the same without you!
