Prince William Study Circles is 2009 Virginia Neighborhood Organization of the Year

The 10th Annual Virginia Statewide Neighborhood Conference has named Prince William Study Circles its 2009 Virginia Neighborhood Organization of the Year.  Click here for PWSC Director Cindy Brookshire's remarks and more information about the award.  A list of past conference award winners is here.

I am pleased that the Center is among a number of local partner organizations that have helped Cindy, to whom most of the credit belongs.  Among the other indispensable contributors are: Charvis Campbell of George Mason University; Kisha Wilson-Segunro of City of Manassas Neighborhood Services; Dexter Fox of Unity in the Community; John Landesman of Everyday Democracy; and Jim Snow, dedicated volunteer. 

Among the most important people, the facilitators and circle participants, Chris Pannell stands out.  She has been a stalwart contributor and, like Cindy, an inspiration to the rest of us.

Congratulations all.
