VBCC Hosts Human Rights Commission Award Ceremony

Amidst a sea of wrestlers in the Exhibit Halls, it was business as usual in Suite 1 for the VBCC and Distinctive Gourmet teams as they hosted the city’s 22nd annual Human Rights Award Ceremony last night. Deputy City Manager Cindy Curtis received a standing ovation following her keynote address, which was her final official act as a city staffer. Cindy’s retirement is effective today, April 1. Mayor Will Sessoms honored seven award recipients including ComIT staff member Emily Reaves, chairwoman of the Hampton Roads Inclusion & Diversity Consortium. Fellow board member and CVB member Teresa Diaz and several members of the HRIDC board were on hand to support Emily. Congratulations to all the honorees!
