<\/p>\n

\u201cBecky Boley\u2019s tireless dedication and leadership have made a lasting impact on our industry,\u201d said Russ DeLozier, president of The CRI. \u201cAs The CRI\u2019s board treasurer for the past four years, Ms. Boley\u2019s expertise has carefully guided The CRI, and this award reflects her outstanding service to our organization and its members.\u201d<\/p>\n
