George Hungerford QC Honored for Service

On April 22 The Salvation Army presented George Hungerford, QC, a senior partner with Douglas Symes & Brissenden, the Certificate for Exceptional Service. The certificate, a rarely given, international award, was created in 1941 to show appreciation for the distinguished service of non-Salvationists. Mr. Hungerford is the first person in BC to receive this award. His certificate states “The Salvation Army recognizes the outstanding contributions of George Hungerford to the community. His strong leadership, dedication and service to The Salvation Army has significantly increased the awareness of The Salvation Army and assisted in moving its strategic and business operations in the 21st century.”

Mr. Hungerford has been Chairman of The Salvation Army’s Greater Vancouver Advisory Board since 1990. He was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Territorial Advisory Board (Canada and Bermuda) in the fall of 1998. The Salvation Army celebrates Mr. Hungerford’s “exceptional vision”. His initiative led to an onsite analysis--the first step toward more strategic thinking and eventually the birth of a Capital Campaign. “The strategic plan Mr. Hungerford coordinated has become a model across the country, and right across the territory,” says Major Martyn Goodger of The Salvation Army. Congratulations Mr. Hungerford.
