The inaugural event was held in 2005 at the fabulous Sunset Harbor Yacht Club overlooking the beautiful Halifax River. The namesake award and first year honorees, Glenn and Connie Ritchey, were the recipients for their longstanding civic, charitable and business leadership within Volusia County. Future annual awards will be presented as the The Glenn & Connie Ritchey Community Service Award, and will be given to selected local community-minded leaders.
