Sally Burnett Earns National Certification

March 2007

Sally Burnett, volunteer coordinator at Trident United Way’s 211 Hotline, has become the first person in the Lowcountry to achieve the highest certification possible in the volunteer administration field.

Burnett has earned the credential certified volunteer administrator, through the national Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration.

To earn certification, Burnett completed a rigorous process that includes a performance-based portfolio and an exam that tests knowledge, application and analysis skills related to volunteer resources management.

The certification validates what many in our community already know about Sally Burnett, that she brims with warmth, enthusiasm and aptitude as the Lowcountry’s volunteer coordinator. Among her many duties, Burnett coordinates Trident United Way’s Day of Caring, which involved nearly 5,000 people and 250 projects in 2006.
