             RICHMOND, VIRGINIA (USA) -- Virginia's observance of 2012 International Men's Day was ushered in on Sunday, 18 November 2012 under the innovative leadership of MRS. ODETTA WRIGHT, the Virginia (USA) Regional Coordinator for 2012 International Men's Day and the Co-Founder of Father Figure Enterprises LLC (www.fatherfigure.org) at the New Deliverance Evangelistic Church (www.ndec.net) in Richmond, Virginia. 2012 International Men's Day in Virginia spawned the inauguration of the Global Visionary Award and its first recipient was BISHOP GERALD O.

           When reached for comment, MRS. WRIGHT offered the following:

            "I have enjoyed seeing the International Men's Day 2012 events all around the world. Here in Virginia we presented Bishop Gerald O. Glenn with the first ever Global Visionary Award. This award will be presented each year to a deserving gentleman from Virginia who meets the criteria presented in the International Men's Day core principles. Bishop Glenn has been instrumental in creating the Men of Tomorrow program and will be consulting us as we implement the program in Botswana. Bishop Glenn and the congregation were excited about the award and our collaboration with Botswana.  I am truly excited about the future of International Men's Day and the Men of Tomorrow Mentoring Program.  Bishop Glenn and the congregation were excited about the award and our collaboration with Botswana. Here are pictures from the ceremony . . . ."
