Guess Who’s Writing About Winning an Award Now? Yes, the person who usually writes about everyone else winning awards and harassing them for their picture, is now writing about his own.

His efforts have not only kept the community informed about BELD’s initiatives and services but have also played a crucial role in promoting public understanding and support for BELD. Please join us in congratulating him on this well-deserved honor! Here’s to many more years of outstanding communication and community engagement at BELD.
