March 2, 2023 (North Adams, MA) Christine Meiklejohn, Director of ABI/MFP Residential Services at BFAIR, has been awarded the February 2023 Workforce Hero Award by the Provider’s Council.

The Providers’ Council is a statewide association of primarily nonprofit, community-based organizations that provide human services, health, education, and vocational support to one-in-ten residents of the Commonwealth. ( https://providers.org/about/vision-and-mission/ )

Christine is honored to receive this award and her heart has always been in human services stating, “My desire to work with people goes back as far as I can remember. When I was in school, I volunteered in programs for at-risk youth – this is where I got my first taste of what helping people could do.  It did not take long to realize that even a few minutes of attention to someone could change the entire trajectory of their future. I knew back then human services would be for me.”
