Volunteer of the Year Award

Each year, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) will recognize a member whose volunteer contributions have distinguished themselves among their peers in terms of service directly to NDAA and to advancing the work of the association. The NDAA Volunteer Award will be awarded to an active NDAA member each year.

NDAA membership is required for award consideration.
