Representatives from the Department of Environmental Health & Safety, which is headed by Felicia Venable, will receive the Meridian Award of Achievement at MSBO’s annual banquet on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 at the Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids. A listing of the award winners will appear in the March issue of the MSBO Newsletter.
