St. Cloud, MN – On October 24th, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota’s Vice President of Operations Geri Bechtold received the prestigious Tom Burt Pacesetter Award from Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This national award is presented annually to non-CEO leaders who inspire and support the growth of those they lead.
“Geri is a genuine and exemplary servant leader, the foundation upon which our Club programs are built,” said Mary Swingle, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota. “She approaches each day, person, and situation with our mission at the forefront, dedicated to empowering everyone to reach their full potential.”
Geri’s impact reaches far beyond the Central Minnesota Clubs. She is a respected figure in child development throughout Minnesota and across the nation. Other Clubs, youth-serving organizations, and school districts frequently seek her guidance, and her expertise has even shaped legislative insights at the local and national levels.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota celebrates Geri’s leadership and unwavering commitment to creating great futures for young people. We congratulate Geri on this well-deserved honor!
