Short Statement: Demand for the President’s Volunteer Service Award has been increasing steadily with many new, large organizations participating. We therefore anticipate an increase in the number of submissions. We have also improved the functionality of the online submissions and now allow batch submissions of orders which should reduce the average time respondents need to complete the form. Also organizations that have previously registered have less information that they are required to submit with subsequent submissions.
