**Important NOTE**

New in 2025! Introducing the CDBA Volunteer Reward System!

Our volunteers are the lifeblood of our beekeeping community. CDBA wants to reward members who give their time and energy through volunteering. Beginning this year (retroactive to January 1, 2025), volunteer hours will be recorded and tracked to reward our volunteers with:

· Volunteers with 12+ hrs in the calendar year will receive course enrollment offered by the CDBA for only $25. This will be transferable to family!

· Everyone who volunteers per calendar year will be entered into a draw for one of three $100 gift cards!

· CDBA beek with the most volunteer hours in 2025 will be named ‘CDBA Volunteer of the Year’ and will receive a plaque and a $150 gift card!

All winners will be announced at the 2026 AGM. Volunteer hours must be for CDBA-sanctioned events, typically tracked through the online signup tool. Members are responsible for reaching out to the board to document any time spent volunteering for events outside of this. Board members are not eligible for any of the above benefits or rewards.
