Ray E. Beckham, one of BYU’s most distinguished former professors, will be honored with a Pillar of the Valley Award. The award honors individuals whose extraordinary contributions have improved the business, civic, social, educational and cultural climate of Utah Valley.
During his lifetime, innovative improvements followed Beckham wherever he went. Things like the Young Ambassadors, BYU Education Week and the Aspen Grove Family Camp can all be traced back to him.
He also served on the board of numerous charities, such as Boy Scouts of America and the Red Cross. To learn more about Beckham’s legacy and the award, continue reading at The Daily Herald.
