The Community Mediation Center of Calvert is pleased to present LaVerne Day with our Volunteer of the Year award. LaVerne joined the Center in 2019, and she has embraced the mission wholeheartedly. She not only volunteers to mediate any case that is available, but she also takes every training she can find in order to become a better mediator. She helps at community events and in numerous Center projects.

​

LaVerne Day is a Mediator with the Community Mediation Centers of both Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties.  After years of working as an owner and operator of a commercial construction company, LaVerne decided to pursue her passion for service to the community, and our Center is honored that she has chosen to lend her considerable talents to community mediation.
