Tammy Gweedo McGee was recognized for her dedicated and passionate support of teen driver safety. After her son Conner was killed in a crash involving an unlicensed teen driver, McGee founded the Gweedo Memorial Foundation and has dedicated her time and energy to preventing others from having to experience the same loss she did. She was instrumental in the passage of two bills in Virginia that address safety in high school parking lots and parents' involvement in their teens' driving. McGee also founded IfYouSeeSomethingSaySomething.org, a site that allows people to anonymously report dangerous driving.
