The Father George Mader Award was created in 1988 to honor organizations and individuals that encourage men and women to serve others in the United States and abroad. The award is named after Father George Mader of the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey, who in 1963, together with his sister Patricia Mader Stalker, founded what is today known as the Catholic Network of Volunteer Service (CNVS). The group is a national membership organization of Christian volunteer and mission programs that fosters and promotes full-time national and international service opportunities for people of all backgrounds, ages and skills.
“We are honored to be recognized by the CNVS,” said UMD Executive Director Patrice Nelson. “To be among the esteemed list of previous winners that range from universities to senators to other non-profits is a true honor.”
