Arts and commerce thrive when outstanding leaders and businesses are dedicated to change and improvement. While the BCA Obelisk Awards is a one day event, the work that is recognized annually comes from hard work that is done over months, years, and a lifetime! As mentioned in the article, BCA is driven in North Texas by the challenge from "the city’s leaders to transform his efforts into a world-class business destination by cultivating a collaboration between business, arts and social organizations and educational institutions." Bringing these philanthropists, artists, and business leaders together is so rewarding! https://lnkd.in/gJQ-S-mn A HUGE thank you to Jeanne Prejean and MySweetCharity for your impactful coverage of the Obelisk Awards! We're thankful to the participants and attendees who participated, and can't wait to make the 2025 version even better!
