Presented during The Arc’s recent Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony, the Volunteer Service Award is presented to an individual or group demonstrating commitment to The Arc Baltimore’s mission by providing voluntary support to the agency and those it supports.

Sand, who joined The Arc Baltimore’s Board of Directors in 2010, recently served as Vice President and then President of the Board.

“While he may have been recruited for his expertise with finances – and indeed he has spent many years on the finance committee and as Treasurer – Tom’s impact has been far broader than that,” says The Arc’s Chief Executive Officer, Kathleen McNally Durkin. “He has been a generous supporter of our Golf Tournament and Art in the Round. We are very lucky to have known Tom's commitment to leading our Board and his commitment to the people we support.”

The Arc Baltimore’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Awards Ceremony featured the election of the organization’s new board of directors and officers, and award recognitions for those who have gone above and beyond in their service to The Arc Baltimore.
