BFHS wins awards in Regional Competition!

On the evening of May 19 th, 2023, Executive Director, Autumn White, accepted two regional awards on behalf of BFHS at the Project of the Year (POY) ceremony held at The Reach in Richland, WA.

The awards ceremony was the culmination of an annual competition hosted by the Columbia River Basin Chapter of the prestigious Project Management Institute (PMI). The PMI strives to “advance Project Management and enhance opportunities for success” among projects worldwide.

At the presentation-filled gala, the Chapter honored BFHS for our Emergency Management of the Tri Cities Animal Shelter project. Our project began when we answered a plea for help from the City of Pasco and the Tri Cities Animal Control Authority (ACA). It unfolded over a six-month period spanning late 2022 to early 2023. For our efforts, we were granted the following awards:

  • Project of the Year – Small Category Award (for budgets under one million dollars)
  • Project of the Year – People’s Choice Award (by a vote of all gala attendees)

We are grateful for the opportunity afforded by Columbia River Basin PMI to highlight the depth of our project strategies, efforts, outcomes, and lessons before our peers. And we thank every one of you who supported us through the many challenges we faced along the way. This recognition of a job well-done is for you as well.
