Lynda Fairman has been named the York County Republican Committee's volunteer of the year.

Fairman is serving a two-year term as chairman of the York County Republican Committee in Virginia, where her focus has been on developing the headquarters building and operations manual as well as putting together the campaign plan.

"This award is quite an honor, especially since so many volunteers throughout Virginia dedicated hundreds of hours to our candidates in the critical 2012 election. This award is less of a reflection of what I did, and more on what all of the volunteers in York County did through our 2012 campaign plan and campaign victory headquarters," Fairman said in a release.

The Norfolk resident received the honor Jan. 15 at the Republican Party of Virginia in Richmond.

Fairman graduated from the University of Florida in 1982 majoring in English and speech with a minor in drama. Her senior year, Fairman was selected by the Air Force Association to be their national protocol officer, where she traveled the country giving briefing to cadets and active duty Air Force members.
