Nominations will soon open for the 2023 Marcia Mashaw Outstanding Assistant Award, and chief administrative officials who are VLGMA members will receive nominations information in their email in the coming days.

The award will be presented during the 2023 VLGMA Annual Conference in June. 

The Mashaw Outstanding Assistant Award recognizes a deputy or assistant administrator or deputy or assistant manager who has demonstrated outstanding performance, particularly with a special project or during a period of unique conditions and circumstances.  This past year provided plenty of unusual, if not unique, circumstances for local governments.

This award honors the memory of Marcia Mashaw, who served as assistant town manager of Blacksburg and was an active and accomplished leader in her community and in VLGMA.  VLGMA created this award to honor Marcia and her accomplishments and devotion to the field of local government and to VLGMA.
