The Volunteer Center established the Heart of Gold award in 1995 to recognize and encourage business leaders to build volunteerism into their strategic plans, the group said in a statement.
Under Grissler's leadership, Stamford Hospital has supported a culture of employee volunteerism and is a model for other companies, the Volunteer Center said. The hospital also offers meaningful volunteer opportunities to more than 1,000 community members each year, it said.
The Volunteer Center merged with the United Way of Western Connecticut last June. The United Way now honors individuals with the Heart of Gold Award in place of its annual Community Inspiration Award.
