It’s always nice to hear a local honored by a state organization. That’s especially true when it comes to the nonprofit sector. Well, one of those situations took place Friday in Austin. Children’s Health Board of Directors Chair David Biegler received the 2015 Founders’ Award from the Texas Healthcare Trustees (THT) “in recognition of his outstanding service on behalf of a Texas hospital.”
Established back in 1972, the award has been “presented annually to a significant Texas health care trustee who exhibits the qualities of commitment and distinction in the community and in his or her leadership role.”
According to THT President/CEO Stacy G. Cantu, “David Biegler has been on a mission to make life better for children for decades and his dedication to Children’s Health in Dallas demonstrates that commitment. His 40 years of experience in the energy industry has brought valuable insight and leadership capabilities into his role on the board.”
Having been a member of the Children’s Medical Center Foundation since 1987, David has been chairman of the Children’s Health Board of Directors since 2006.
Children’s Health President/CEO Christopher Durovich said, “David has been a mentor to his board colleagues, to me and to our leadership team. As Children’s Health enters its second century of service, his legacy will be felt by the children and families who place their sacred trust in us as we fulfill our mission of making life better for children.”
