In recognition of Tim’s decades-long service to a variety of Lakewood institutions and organizations, the award will be presented annually to deserving individuals by LakewoodAlive as the Laskey Volunteer Service Award.

LakewoodAlive Board Treasurer, Mary Sue McGorray, reports, “After more than six years of service and as a founding member of LakewoodAlive and Lakewood Community Progress Inc., the board of directors wanted to recognize Tim’s recent resignation from the board in a meaningful way that would reflect his incredible volunteer dedication to the community. Tim has established a legacy of volunteer service in Lakewood and this award will allow us to honor those who follow in his footsteps in terms of professionalism and devotion to civic interests. “

A Certified Public Accountant, Tim has operated Laskey CPA from its beautifully renovated 12511 Madison Avenue location since 1991. In addition to serving LakewoodAlive and LCPI, Tim has volunteered personal and/or professional services to other Lakewood causes including: Lakewood Public Library, Lakewood Hospital Foundation, Lakewood Chamber of Commerce, Lakewood Historical Society, Lakewood Music Boosters, St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Lakewood Civic Auditorium Renovation Committee, Grow Lakewood Finance Committee and Lakewood Senior Citizen, Inc.

Tim is married to Patti and together they raised three daughters in Lakewood, each accomplished in their own right. LakewoodAlive thanks Tim for his commitment to the Lakewood community and for being a role model to all civic volunteers. Congratulations, Tim.
