Our November 1 Access Press awards event and celebration will be here before you know it. Mark your calendars and plan to attend, as space will be limited. We’ll be celebrating at Metropolitan State University’s campus in St. Paul’s Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood.
The evening’s highlight will be the presentation of the Charlie Smith Award and the Tim Benjamin Award. Both awards provide valued recognition for those who serve Minnesotans with disabilities.
One award honors Charlie Smith, Jr., the founder and first editor of Access Press. The second award celebrates the life and achievements of Tim Benjamin, who succeeded Smith as Access Press executive director/editor and served for many years. Benjamin died in 2022.
