Addam Stobbs Award for Broadcasting Excellence
About the Addam Stobbs Award: One of the extreme low points of 2010 was the passing of Addam Stobbs. Addam was a Life Member of JOY in recognition of his enormous contribution over many years. We still feel the loss of his extraordinary passion, work, humour and enthusiasm. He is remembered by many as a mentor and friend. At the annual general meeting in 2010, the Board instituted an Award for Broadcasting Excellence in his name as a way of acknowledging Addam in perpetuity, with recipients honouring both their own success and Addam’s contribution.
The JOY board is pleased to announce the award recipient is Ti Butler.
Anne Hamilton Award for Volunteering Excellence
About the Anne Hamilton Award: This Award is to celebrate and recognise volunteering excellence. The inaugural Anne Hamilton Award was presented 27th October 2013 at the JOY’s Annual General Meeting. Anne Hamilton is a life member of JOY and the Award is instituted in her name to acknowledge Anne’s embodiment of the JOY mission and values over many years, her passion for community volunteering, integrity, work ethic, the quality of her work, her enormous contribution to the organisation and the excellent example set for us all in selfless volunteering excellence.
The JOY Board is pleased to announce the award recipient is Clayton Wimshurst
President’s Award
About the President’s Award: This award is awarded by the JOY President to someone who has made an outstanding contribution to JOY.
