The Autism Society of Northern Virginia (ASNV) honored state Senators Barbara Favola (D-31) and Jennifer Wexton (D-33) with its annual Community Builder of the Year Award for co-sponsoring Conner's Law, legislation that requires continued support of severely disabled and special needs children over 18. Shown here are Senators Wexton and Favola with their awards flanking the legislation’s namesake Conner Cummings, along with (from left) ASNV president Barbara Wagner, executive director Sarah Peterson, state Senate candidate Dr. Jill McCabe (D-13), and Conner’s mom Sharon Cummings. The presentation took place at Wine and Dine for Autism, a fundraising event for ASNV in August at the Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg.
