Gold & Silver Circle Honorees Celebrated in Williamsburg for Decades of Dedication

ree

Earlier this month, our Chapter gathered for one of the most meaningful celebrations of the year — honoring the individuals whose decades of dedication have shaped journalism and media in our region.


On October 9, members of our media community came together in Williamsburg, Virginia, to recognize this year’s Gold & Silver Circle inductees. Surrounded by friends, family, and colleagues, these honorees were celebrated not only for their professional accomplishments but also for the lasting impact they have made on the stories we tell and the communities we serve.



The Gold & Silver Circle Awards are more than a recognition of career milestones — they’re a testament to the power of storytelling, the responsibility of truth, and the legacy built by those who devote their lives to informing and inspiring others. Each inductee’s journey is a reminder that journalism is not just a profession, but a calling — one that shapes public discourse, strengthens communities, and leaves a lasting imprint on generations to come.


We are proud to honor their achievements and celebrate their enduring contributions to media excellence.
