The Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (VIAAA) has awarded three employees of Franklin County's Transportation Department with distinguished honors for their outstanding service to high school athletics.
Donna Carter, supervisor of transportation for Franklin County schools, and bus drivers Tony Davis and Doug Moore were each selected as recipients of the 2012-2013 VIAAA Distinguished Service Award during last month's annual meeting of the VIAAA Past Presidents' Council.
"They couldn't have picked three better people to epitomize the distinguished service award," said Sandy Coblentz, athletic secretary.
The award is targeted toward those working outside the field of athletic administration.
"We were hoping one of us would get the award," said Davis, "but for three of us to get it is just great."
Carter, Davis and Moore will receive their awards at the 2013 VIAAA State Conference on March 21 at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott in Norfolk.
"The VIAAA is very proud to honor these recipients because of their dedication and hard work," said Melody Modell, immediate past president of the VIAAA.
"They go above and beyond for our athletes daily," said Coblentz. "No one knows just how much they do for us." |
