Wexford Festival Opera / Zurich Volunteers Award for Outstanding Leadership and Development

This award serves to recognise the significant contribution and leadership of Wexford Opera Volunteers, and will be presented to a WFO Volunteer who has served to enhance the development, patron service and longevity of Wexford Festival Opera.  Founded last year, 2012 will be the 2nd year of this annual award sponsored by Zurich, whose corporate aim is also synonymous with customer service and commitment to excellence.

Wexford Festival Opera was created by Volunteers.  It is the reason that the unique world-renowned event is still here today, when other companies have failed or never got off the ground.  We wish to highlight the many, many who are so generous with their time, energy, talent and passion into making Wexford Festival Opera possible year in and year out.  And although there is only one recipient each year, the Wexford Festival Opera / Zurich Volunteers Award for Outstanding Leadership and Development represents all our volunteers who strive to make a difference.
Some of the many ways our volunteers have contributed over the years, include supporting front-of-house activities, cloakroom, backstage, promoting, networking, artistic endeavours, wardrobe,  organisational matters, administrative functions, hospitality, transportation etc. etc.  Our volunteers are local, national and international and come from all ages, backgrounds and professions.
