Dec. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- http://www.nswvolunteerawards.com/2010-award/2010-sydney-mid-west-volunteer-year

We are pleased to announce that Ern Phang, solicitor director of Phang Legal http://www.phanglegal.com.au/ern-phang/, is the 2010 Sydney Mid West Volunteer of the Year.

The Sydney Mid West Volunteer of the Year award recognises Ern’s work with and dedication to Western Housing for Youth Limited (WHY), a not for profit youth service providing semi supported accommodation to young people who are homeless or in danger of homelessness. Ern was a volunteer director of WHY for several years, holding various formal positions including company secretary and chairperson during his tenure. As the chairperson of WHY, Ern was instrumental in guiding WHY through a review process to revitalise the board and organisation through a new focus on corporate governance and structured organisational management.

“It’s an honour to have been nominated, and I’d like to thank Debby Ireson the manager from WHY for her support. I’ve known Debby for several years prior to joining WHY when we we both directors of Western Suburbs Housing Cooperative Limited. Debby is the reason that WHY has continued to exist for for over three decades supporting generations of young people in Sydney’s west.”

The NSW Volunteer of the Year Award is an annual awards program launched in 2007 by The Centre for Volunteering to recognise the outstanding efforts of the 2.4 million volunteers in NSW, and to promote the importance of volunteering to the community and to companies. Prior to 2007 there was no state-wide recognition program for volunteers. The Centre for Volunteering is working with other state peak bodies to take these Awards nationally in the future.
