League of Eagles Award

League of Eagles Award – October 27, 2016

At Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Northeast Leadership Conference in Manchester, NH, the James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn received the League of EAGLES Gold Level Award.  This award recognizes organizations for achieving 95% or higher level of board involvement in the following key result areas:  Engage.  Ask.  Give.  Lead.  Evaluate.  Serve.

The Board of Directors at the Jamie McKeown Boys & Girls Club is comprised of 37 men and women who volunteer countless hours while providing leadership and expertise to govern the organization. The group is comprised of men and women, many of whom are alumni of the Club, with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. In recent years, the commitment of this generous group of individuals has allowed the organization to realize its potential to build a state of the art Clubhouse for the community, which is slated to open later in 2017.

The James L. McKeown Boys & Girls Club of Woburn is one of just two Clubs in the entire northeast region to receive this prestigious accolade.  Executive Director Julie Gage and President of the Board of Directors Michael Donaghey were on hand to accept the award from BGCA’s Vice President for the Northeast Region Ron Hadorn.
