The Governor’s Volunteer Stars Awards also recognizes one business and one non-profit from each of Tennessee’s three Grand Regions. Nominations for these categories can also be found at https://www.tn.gov/volunteer-tennessee/vt-events/vt-gvsa.html and are due to Michelle Newell at manewell@mcgtn.net by November 26th, 2019.
