2020 Excellence in Virginia Government Awards Luncheon

The Wilder School has cancelled the event on April 15 due to the COVID-19 threat. Our first priority is the health and safety of all those involved in planning and attending this event.

We plan to hold the event in spring 2021 and honor our 2020 honorees at that time. Future updates about the event will be posted at wilder.vcu.edu.

The L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University is pleased to announce the 14th Excellence in Virginia Government Awards. EVGA celebrates people and organizations in the public and private sectors who have made significant contributions to the practice of government and the well-being of our communities and citizens.

The program also supports scholarships for two deserving students each academic year. The program and these scholarships are solely funded by financial sponsorships and contributions.

When: Noon-2 p.m. Wednesday, April 15
Where: Richmond Marriott, 500 E. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23219
