Kathy Graziano wins ‘Guardian of the River’ Award

City Council President Kathy Graziano, and our 4th district representative, has been selected by the James River Advisory Council as the winner of its “Guardian of the River” Award. The award was presented April 23 at the organization’s quarterly meeting by President Ralph Hambrick.

The James River Advisory Council established the Stewards of the River Awards in 2006 to recognize outstanding community members who make measurable, positive impacts through their roles as leaders, community partners, guardians and spokespersons on behalf of the river.

Graziano was honored for her work, as council representative for the 4th district and president of the Richmond Coty Council, in support of the protection and appropriate use of the James River and her leadership in spearheading the effort to establish a conservation easement for the James River Park.
