Reznick Group, P.C. was awarded the 2008 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award in the “Business Group” category during an awards ceremony last month.
Baltimore office Principal, and Maryland Chamber Board Member, Bill Riley was on hand to accept the award from Lt. Governor Anthony Brown.
“It is a great honor to be recognized by Governor Martin O’Malley and Lt. Governor Brown for our charitable efforts, which are such an integral part of who we are and what we do. This couldn’t have happened without the combined determination and efforts of everyone in Reznick Group’s Baltimore office, for which I am deeply appreciative.”
This recognition is the most prestigious volunteer award presented by the Office of the Governor. The criteria for selection of award winners include
- Outstanding volunteer service requiring meaningful commitment of effort and time.
- Positive influence that addresses a problem or enhances the quality of life in Maryland.
- Emphasis on service during the calendar year 2007.
Reznick Group’s Baltimore office was recognized for its many volunteer projects, including
- Community Service Day
- American Red Cross Blood Drives
- Pro bono tax services to the Children’s Cancer Foundation
- Yearly service as the “Official Accounting Firm” for the Taste of Baltimore
Reznick Group held the all-staff Community Service Day to celebrate the firm’s 30th anniversary in June 2007. The Baltimore office closed for the day and approximately 200 employees set out into communities throughout Baltimore to assist with several projects. The Baltimore office will once again hold its Community Service Day (newly named “Community Outreach Day”) on June 20, 2008.
The award is the second in recent months recognizing Reznick Group’s downtown Baltimore office for its community involvement in the Baltimore area. In December, the office received the 2007 Mayor’s Business Recognition Award for civic leadership and outstanding community service.
