The National Capital Gift Planning Council is pleased to announce that Jane Kolson has been chosen as the 2020 winner of the 25th Annual Distinguished Service Award!
Jane's demonstrated leadership, record of achievements, and selfless service to the gift planning community throughout her 44-year development career have earned her the NCGPC's highest honor.
Jane has long been active in the NCGPC serving with distinction as a two-term board member, secretary, PG Days committee member, and she did a tremendous job leading the educational programming as vice president of programs.
