Frank Oncken, vice president of business development for Cavalier, Inc. in Norfolk, Va., was recently named “Outstanding Volunteer of the Year” at the Hampton Roads Green Building Council Annual Social Party held at the Five Points Community Farmer's Market in Norfolk, Va.

“It’s very rewarding to be a part of the Hampton Roads Green Building Council as it is perhaps one of the most active chapters in the country, “ says Oncken.  “It has a great number of educational and networking opportunities on a regular basis. Volunteering at these events is extremely rewarding and it is exciting to see the group expand  its membership.”

Last year, Oncken volunteered at a number of events the chapter sponsored, including the regional Hampton Roads Industrial & Facility Maintenance Show held at the Virginia Beach Convention Center and the “Green in the Military” Convention.  He was on hand for every “Monthly Buzz” meeting held at various LEED buildings throughout the area.

It was also announced that Oncken will serve on the 2014 Hampton Roads Green Building Council Board of Directors.
