Walter B. Jones, Jr. Award For Excellence
In February 2019, the ECVC Foundation Board established this award in memory of Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr., who had been a long-standing ECVC Foundation Board member since 1985. Those who knew or worked with Congressman Jones spoke of his decency, moral character, and work on behalf of those in the military.
In a statement, it is quoted that “Congressman Jones will long be remembered for his honesty, faith, and integrity. He was never afraid to take a principled stand. He was known for his independence and widely admired across the political spectrum. Some may not have agreed with him, but all recognized that he did what he thought was right.”
“Jones’ legacy will undoubtedly be the unequivocal advocacy he put forth for the men and women who serve in this country’s armed forces, and not just those who lived in his district, but across the nation.”
Congressman Jones represented ECVC’s core values: Mission, Integrity, Accountability, Teamwork, and Customer Focus. Therefore, the Board chose to honor the legacy and memory of Congressman Walter B. Jones, Jr. by establishing the “Walter B. Jones, Jr. Award for Excellence” to be awarded to an ECVC staff member who has demonstrated outstanding leadership and represents ECVC’s core values.
