Stroud Educators at WorkIn the Spotlight
The award, which was presented to Blaine at the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) Annual Dinner in Pittsburgh, PA on October 23rd, is given annually by the PNA to an organization or individual who has performed an outstanding service or accomplishment to his or her community that reflects positively on the newspaper industry of Pennsylvania. Blaine was cited for his efforts to reform the state’s open records law. Blaine isn’t one to boast of his achievements — but they are many and well worth noting. To call him engaged would be putting it lightly. From his service as an educator of special needs children and university students, to his work on environmental issues — both here at the Center, where he served as director of education for several years and continues to contribute on many levels, to his work in the community on social and environmental issues, Blaine can only be described as a “doer.” “We would not be in the position we are today without Jamie’s support and guidance,” said Bern Sweeney, director of the Stroud Water Research Center. “He’s been a backbone of the organization — providing expertise, a voice, and much inspiration to me and the rest of the staff as well. We couldn’t be more pleased with this well-deserved recognition.” Congratulations, Jamie! Link: The PNA’s press release on this subject can be found at: |
