We Need Nominees for
Two Special Awards!
We're soliciting nominations for some
extraordinary people.
The Good Samaritan Award honors
exceptional individuals from Maryland,
Virginia or elsewhere who have provided
exceptional service to others so
extraordinary that it is worthy of this award,
even if they have been honored previously.
The Unsung Virginian Award recognizes
dedicated Virginians who have served others
in the public or private sector without
thought of personal gain and without ever
having been recognized for their service.
An awards committee will review the
nominations and select recipients, who will
be recognized at a special planned event in
their communities.
Make your nominations online at
co-opliving.com/vmdaec-unsung-virginianaward
or at co-opliving.com/vmdaecgood-samaritan-award.
Deadline
is Nov. 8. For additional
information, contact Phyllis Long at
awards@vmdaec.com.
