Randall receives Scull Metropolitan Public Service Award

At the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) 2024 Business Meeting & Awards Reception on Dec. 11, Loudoun County Chair At-Large Phyllis J. Randall was presented with the Elizabeth and David Scull Metropolitan Public Service Award.

Said Chair Randall, “I am humbled and honored to receive the Scull Public Service Award, and I will continue to work with my regional colleagues to ensure the DMV is a wonderful place to live, work, and play.

“Fluid regional collaboration is what makes is what makes the D.C. metropolitan area a flourishing place for businesses and families alike. I look forward to working with my fellow MWCOG members in the new year,” she said.

Randall thanked Clark Mercer, Executive Director of the Council of Governments, Mayor Bowser, and, Chairman Mendelson, as well as the Metropolitan Council of Governments for their continued support.

A special thanks was also issued to Loudoun County Executive Tim Hemstreet and county staff, Chair Randall’s office staff, and to the citizens of Loudoun County, whom she is most honored to serve.

Randall was also a member of the nominating committee for MWCOG’s 2025 Corporate Officers. Members Denise Mitchell, Catherine Read, Kenyan McDuffie, and Michael O’Connor were officially named, and will begin serving in their new official capacities next year.
