"The work product created by the local and state HBAs throughout our Federation never ceases to amaze me. The sheer cumulative effort embodied by all that submitted for AEA awards is beyond impressive," said Brian Miller, EOC President and EVP of the BIA of Northern Kentucky.
"During these ever-changing and challenging times in which we find ourselves, it takes grit, determination, innovation, and a spirit of entrepreneurship to successfully navigate the headwinds that face associations today.

Well done!" Miller added.
