MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — Michael Whalton got the surprise of his professional life Monday morning.
That is when West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner presented him with the National Association of Secretaries of State Award for Extraordinary Effort to Advance Charitable and Philanthropic Endeavors.
The honor came as a result of Whalton’s work with the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation, which includes being a board member for 10 years before becoming executive director in 2012.
