Dr. Meacham made a special trip to the WRCBAA Summer Board Meeting Reception, held on June 6, 2014, at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle, Oakland, CA, to accept his award. The award was presented at the NCBAA Awards Breakfast, Sunday, April 6, 2014, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, D.C., and accepted by two of his mentees from the College of Southern Nevada, Dr. Chemene Crawford, currently Vice President of Student Services, Dallas Community College and Ann Johnson, currently Vice President of Student Success, Lonestar College, Tomball Campus.
