Bell of Hope Award Dinner - Thursday, May 19, 2011

Our Bell of Hope Dinner will be held on Thursday, May 19, 2011 at Sheraton Society Hill Hotel in Philadelphia

The Bell of Hope Award is presented annually by the MHASP to recognize significant and far-reaching contributions benefiting individuals facing the challenges of mental illness. The evening pays tribute to an individual, organization, foundation, or corporation for significant contributions benefiting those facing the challenge of mental illness.

This year I am privileged to announce that we will honor three distinguished individuals at the Bell of Hope Awards Dinner:  

• Bell of Hope Award: Arthur C. Evans, Jr., Ph.D., Director, Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health/Mental Retardation Services;
• Leadership Award: Nancy Wieman, Deputy Administrator for Mental Health Services, Montgomery County Department of Behavioral Health/Developmental Disabilities;
• Outstanding Service Award: Marilyn Meisel, a founding member of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (now the National Alliance on Mental Illness) and co-founder of MHASP’s Training and Education Center.
