SPEO’S 2020 Wallenberg Award Winner, Regina Thornton

At SPEO’s 2020 Annual Opportunities Forum on February 4, 2020, Ray Meyer, presented Regina Thornton with this year’s Wallenberg Spirit Award. This award is presented annually to a member-selected recipient at the Opportunities Forum .

The award recognizes a member who epitomizes the spirit of Raoul Wallenberg: “for making the lives of others better; for lifting up others because it is the right thing to do, not because the world is watching; for simply helping others because they are human beings, not because they are of a certain race”.

Thanks Regina for all you do for SPEO!
