Okay, BFF may be a stretch but we’ve certainly shared a lot of photo ops and hand shakes with him over the years. Jim Vance, as you probably know, is the popular news anchor of News4 (WRC-TV) and has been since 1989. What you may not know is that for the last eleven years he has also been the emcee of the Great American Living Awards (GALA), the building industry’s most prestigious design competition.
Thursday, September 21stwas GALA 2012 and we’re proud to say that we got to spend a lot of time on stage with Mr. Vance, as he presented us with 16 different awards for the best architecture, interior design and marketing our industry has to offer.
