July 31, 2018 was far from just another day at the office for Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia CEO John Skirven. On his last day as head of one of the country’s oldest Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), he was in Chicago for the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging’s (n4a’s) Annual Conference & Tradeshow. He had no idea that while there he would be receiving the organization’s highest honor, the 2018 Excellence in Leadership award.
