The 2010 award recipient will be announced at the VEFP’s Annual Conference to be held March 2-3, 2009 at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, Virginia. The Board will subsequently submit the name of the Virginia POY to the Council of Educational Facility Planners, International’s Southeast Region (CEFPI¬SE) as Virginia’s nominee for the Thomas Morgan SE Region Planner of the Year Award assuming, of course, that the recipient is also an active member of CEFPI.

We look forward to hearing from you about the great talent we have here in Virginia!
