BPLA's Brian Heagle named Citizen of the Year
A civic tip of the hat to a busy volunteer
It’s often said: if you want something done, give it to a busy person.
Which is likely why 46-year-old Burlington lawyer and BPLA member Brian Heagle was named Burlington’s Citizen of the Year for 2009. While others describe him as “likable, sharp, generous, engaging and leader” he’s quick to add his own self deprecatory, “too-tall lawyer.”
BPLA President John Boich – another strong civic volunteer – agrees. “He’s all of these things and still retains the common touch. That’s the mark of someone who truly cares.”
