"This is a great opportunity to say thank you and recognize the volunteers who give selflessly to make our community a better place," said Schaumburg Special Events Coordinator Roxane Benvenuti. "If you know a youth, adult or organization that volunteers in Schaumburg, please consider nominating them to be recognized at this special event."
Award recipients will be selected by a panel of judges from nominations received from residents and the business community. Recipients will be honored at the 34th annual Volunteer of the Year luncheon that will take place Wednesday, May 4 at Chandler's, 401 N. Roselle Rd. in Schaumburg. The luncheon is open to the public.

The keynote speaker at this year's luncheon will be Stedman Graham (Business Advisor, Chairman & CEO, S. Graham & Associates). Graham is the author of 12 books, including two New York Times best sellers and one Wall Street Journal bestseller.
As a businessman, educator and speaker, Graham lectures and conducts training programs for corporations and educational organizations worldwide on the topic of Identity Leadership, based on the philosophy that one cannot lead anyone else until you first lead yourself.
