FIC presents Impact Award to Eileen Dyer

Family Investment Center recently recognized Eileen Dyer for her positive impact in her communities. The Impact Award was presented to Eileen at a Friends of the Free Clinic meeting on June 13, 2012.

The Impact Award really grew from two thoughts. First, people think our business is mainly about money, but it's really about impact. We help people do things that will bring positive impact to their retirement, their family, and the charities they love.

Second, St. Joseph doesn't do a real good job of recognizing achievement. I mean, there are some nice awards out there for some very worthy people. But there is a lot of good that goes unnoticed, and I really think that's too bad. It is genuinely remarkable what our citizens do, and outsiders sometimes see things that we overlook.

That is certainly the case with Eileen. The University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing recognized her, and that makes me proud. In fact, it should make everyone in St. Joseph proud. Eileen Dyer brought true impact to nursing and that school, and all of us know her for the positive impact she brings to everything she does. This is just our way of recognizing that impact.
