During the NOBLE National Conference Awards luncheon, Region II Vice President Juanita Waters made a monetary presentation to NOBLE in the amount of $10,000. On hand to accept the donation on behalf of NOBLE was President Jimmie Dotson and Vice President Douglas DeLeaver.
During the presentation, Region II Vice President Waters thanked several regional sponsors, The Avrio Group, ShotSpotter and The Richland Group, LLC along with several chapters (Maryland, Northern Virginia, Central Virginia, Delaware) who made an additional monetary contribution to help the region reach its $10,000 contribution goal. Vice President Waters also thanked all the Region II chapters who participated in the Regional Fundraiser, "Casino Night" which net proceeds of $4,000 went towards the donation.
A special thanks to the Washington Metro Chapter and the Maryland Chapter for providing information on The Avrio Group and ShotSpotter, two of our new regional sponsors. Both companies provided $2,000 in sponsorship funds and agreed to continue their relationship with NOBLE and Region II. The Richland Group, LLC has been a regional sponsor for three years now and each year contributes $2,500 to the region's endeavors.
