The Volunteer Recognition Program was designed to highlight individuals and teams of the OpenMRS community, whose efforts and contributions have been exemplary. Your hard work is fundamental to the mission of OpenMRS, and we believe that these winners should be awarded in a way that publicly expresses OpenMRS' gratitude and appreciation.

 Award

As our way of saying thank you and recognizing your efforts, you'll receive the following items, of which you are not obligated to accept:

  1. Plaque

  2. Public Recognition

  3. PodCast to Highlight the work that is being honored

  4. Posting on a recognition WIKI page with a blurb about the award

Nomination Process

Individuals can nominate their peers by reaching out to any member of the leadership team using a variety of platforms: Talk, Facebook, Twitter, eMail, etc. Your submission will be collected and reviewed in order to select the next Volunteer of the Month.
