Submit nominations for Schaumburg’s Volunteer of the Year awards
Paylocity co-CEO Steve Beauchamp will be the keynote speaker for the village of Schaumburg’s 36th Volunteer of the Year Awards Luncheon, set for Tuesday, April 23.
The 27-year-old Schaumburg-based firm provides cloud-based human resources and payroll software for employers, as well as striving to be a positive corporate citizen of its community.
Tiana Weiler, Schaumburg’s director of cultural services, said the village chose to look close to home for the event’s keynote speaker this year.
“We wanted to turn the focus to our local business community who would have a message about volunteerism,” Weiler said. “Paylocity’s culture is to have a lasting, positive impact on their community. Nearly 40% of employees volunteered during (the last fiscal year) and impacted 320 organizations.”
Those attending the luncheon to hear Beauchamp will be the winners, nominees and their nominators in three award categories — adult volunteers, youth volunteers, and volunteer organizations.
“We believe Steve Beauchamp will have an approachable message around community and volunteerism that will resonate with our audience,” Weiler said. “We look forward to our local business community coming out to hear Steve’s message, along with taking the opportunity to nominate an employee or organization near and dear to their hearts.”
For more than three decades, the village has been honoring those who assist fellow residents and the community.
Nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. Monday, April 1. Nominees for the youth volunteer award should be either junior high or high school age.
The nominees for all three awards can represent social, civic, religious, community, school, and nonprofit organizations within the village of Schaumburg or Schaumburg Township.

The winners will be selected by a panel of judges. All nominees will receive a certificate of merit, while each of the three winners will receive an award.
