The award is given to an individual volunteer member of CBIC who has provided exemplary contributions to the organization.

During the past year, Kolker’s committee renamed and rebranded the organization; managed media relations and marketing communications for six monthly events and two major events, the Annual Business Forum and the Charlottesville Innovation Awards; and sent out a monthly e-newsletter.
“We have a dynamic group of very experienced marketers on the Communications committee, which allowed us to achieve an amazing level of activity with just a few volunteers. They have been real co-leaders,” Kolker said. “We have a thriving entrepreneurial and technology sector, and it offers much promise for the kind of small-footprint growth suited to this region. It’s a vision for the future that I’m committed to.”
