Executive Directors and Board Members 5013c’s
Executive Directors and board members of Long Island and New York City 5013c’s are also provided the opportunity to nominate model citizens. While this is not the traditional way model citizens are recognized, when 5013c’s want to recognize a model citizen who has gone up and above the call of duty for its organization, we do make one off exceptions and allow nominations.
