Each year, United Way of Southern Chautauqua County partners with organized labor to select one of its own to receive the Joseph H. Mason Award.
This award honors the memory of Mr. Mason and his service in our community.
Nominations are open to any union member, active or retired, who has provided outstanding volunteer service in Southern Chautauqua County.
This year is a special year for two reasons:
- County Wide Nominations: We are opening up the award to be county-wide for the first time, and not just exclusively for Southern Chautauqua County. As part of our increased collaboration and future partnership with United Way of Northern Chautauqua County—this was important to our Board and our Labor Committee.
- October Salute to Labor Award Dinner: We will be holding the award ceremony in October (not August as in previous years) in Mayville. Our committee felt strongly that this would allow greater participation among local labor unions because there would be less conflict with summer plans and activities.

Physical nomination forms will soon be sent out. Please help spread awareness about the 2024 Joseph H. Mason Award as publicity begins later this month. We hope to accumulate a robust list of nominees, which is why we are sending out this email today -- before summer gets into full swing. We appreciate your help and partnership!
