Two SAMHSA employees recently received the President’s
Volunteer Service Award at the 2008 Martin Luther King,
Jr., Day celebration sponsored by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
Joanne Atay from SAMHSA’s Center
for Mental Health Services and Lisa
Blake from SAMHSA’s Office of
Program Services were honored at
the event.
In 2003, President Bush created the
President’s Council on Service
and Civic Participation. The Council
created the President’s Volunteer
Service Award program as a way to
honor Americans who inspire others
to engage in volunteer service.
