Hope Coryer Receives Distinguished Citizen Award

Hope CoryerFrom the United Way of the Adirondack Region

At the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. Annual Meeting and Recognition Dinner on Friday, March 13th, 2015, Hope Coryer was the recipient of the 31th Annual Dorothy & Alan Booth Distinguished Citizen Award.

She is truly deserving of this most coveted award. There is hardly a community event that she does not get involved in. She served on the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc. campaign team and was chair for the 2002 campaign. But it is not just the United Way that has benefitted from her community minded spirit and generosity. She serves for numerous other organizations.

Coryer blends in perfectly with the quality of past winners of this prestigious award. Her dedication to volunteerism and willingness to help improve the quality of life of others fits nicely with the legacy that Dorothy and Alan Booth provided this area.   She is someone who chooses to stay in the background and work hard to make the Adirondack region a better place to live. According to John Bernardi, Executive Director of the United Way of the Adirondack Region, Inc., “Hope’s generosity, compassion and selflessness are a fine example for all of us.”

Hope just recently retired from ETS yet continues to serve the community in many aspects.
