The National "Of the Year" Awards recognize service, excellence, leadership and innovation to promote the Rebuilding Together mission and impact the community.  Nominations are accepted from the 200 affiliates throughout the country, and recipients are selected

by the National Organizational Development Committee.  

In the category of Volunteer of the Year, Kelly Hall won for her time dedicated as a volunteer intern for Rebuilding Together Tulsa.  As a volunteer, Kelly impacted the Tulsa community by increasing the visibility of Rebuilding Together Tulsa.  She has directly impacted the number of volunteers and partners in the community that can help fulfill the mission to bring volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income homeowners.

The Spread the Spirit Award is awarded annually at the Rebuilding Together National Conference and showcases photos from the 200 Rebuilding Together affiliates that best display the spirit and mission of the organization. The award was presented to one photo in each of the following five categories: Volunteer Activity, Homeowner, Heavy Work, Individual Experience, and Rebuilding Together Experience. The top five photos in each category were showcased on the Rebuilding Together Facebook page.
