Kathleen K. Seefeldt Awards
The Prince William County Arts Council chose to name the awards in honor of Mrs. Seefeldt because of her long history of service to the county and the state. During her tenure as Chair of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, the Arts Council was established. She was instrumental in the development of the tri-partite agreement that led to the creation of the Hylton Performing Arts Center. After leaving the Board, she has held several appointed positions on state government commissions as well as volunteer work with a number of charities. Mrs. Seefeldt continues her service to our community and continues to participate in the planning of the event.
