Tom Winfree: Recipient of the 2011 Bernard L. Savage Community Service Award

President and CEO of Village Bank Tom Winfree is a man about town. As a member of more than a dozen civic organizations, including the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce and the Chesterfield County Chamber of Commerce, Tom has made many significant contributions around the Richmond community. To reward his relentless dedication, the Chesterfield Business Council presented Tom with the Bernard L. Savage Community Service Award, which recognizes an individual for selflessly giving time, talent or other resources to promote and enhance the quality of life in Chesterfield County.

Madison+Main had the privilege of creating a video to congratulate Tom Winfree on his award. As the leader of Village Bank, Tom refers to his employees as the "Village People." So, we felt that it was only appropriate to incorporate the Village People into Tom's video. To do this, we invited his friends, co-workers and colleagues to come say a few kind words about Tom while donning "Village People" hats. We decided to break down the footage into separate parts, each highlighting the different aspects of Tom: Tom the Man, Tom the Business Leader and Tom the Community Leader. The video even featured a congratulatory segment at the end where Village Bank employees danced to "YMCA" by the Village People.
