Scott Taylor
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteer of the Month
April 2010
Our March Volunteer of the month is Scott Taylor from Sorrento, Florida. Scott is a dedicated volunteer who makes himself available, even canceling personal plans to take NILMDTS sessions. His Area Coordinator Joni Clark is so thankful to have him on her team and had this to say about him:
When we get a new volunteer, I send an email to welcome them, and copy it to our entire volunteer group. Scott takes the time to warmly welcome each new person and makes himself available to call or email for any questions that might arise. Scott has done more sessions than anyone in the Orlando Area, having personally covered 32 of 79 calls in a 9 month period, and tracked down & uploaded 19 sessions which had been taken by a former member but never logged. He has such compassion and will go do a session in a heartbeat, and has a memorial photograph ready for the parents the following day. His turnaround time is great, I don't know how he does it!
He stops by the hospitals and downloads photos that have been taken by hospital staff, and has purchased numerous 2 GB SD cards for the cameras for most of the hospitals in the area. These are his gift to the hospitals in hopes that when we cannot be there they will have that extra tool to insure the photos have a way from the camera to our NILMDTS retouchers as explained in the Hospital Posing Guide.
Please accept our thanks, Scott, for being such a dedicated volunteer and always going above and beyond to serve families in need.
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Volunteers!
The Process for choosing the Volunteer of the Month
The Co-Founders select the Volunteer of the Month by considering many deciding factors including -- Nominations from families, hospitals and fellow photographers
- The nominee’s established leadership in their community
- And their hard work following the necessary guidelines within NILMDTS including completion and logging of consent forms.
Nominations should be e-mailed to headquarters@nilmdts.org with the subject line of "VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH NOMINATION". The Headquarters Office will accept nominations at any time throughout the month.
Each NILMDTS Volunteer of the Month receives a congratulatory plaque which can be proudly displayed in their studios as well as a profile here throughout the month of their award.
This is a wonderful way for us here at NILMDTS to recognize the outstanding achievements and the giving nature of ourvolunteer base.
Thank you to each and every one of you!
