Office Awards & Accomplishments
1999 JC Penney Golden Rule Award

think of the Golden Rule Award as the community service equivalent to the Pulitzer or Academy Award." The Golden Rule Award
recognizes that accomplishments by nonprofit organizations would not be possible without caring volunteers. The program rewards
both the volunteer and the organization. The Public Defender’s Office Intern Investigator Program and a dedicated volunteer
were the recipients of this award.
