The VRCA will celebrate these accomplishments at two premier events this fall. First, the association will honour the Silver Award winners at the Silver Winner Reception in September. Then, on October 24th, the association will host the Awards of Excellence Gala, where one Silver Award winner from each category will be crowned as the Gold Award Winner.
