The award is named for the former director of the library development and networking division of the Library of Virginia and is given annually by the VPLDA to a Virginia public library director who exhibits an enthusiasm for and a love of libraries as well as a nurturing spirit.

Library directors may nominate one of their peers for the award, and the recipient is chosen by a vote of the association’s members.
