Dubious Distrinction Award #2: New Feature From Time-To-Time

This follows an earlier award here on this blog site presented as an online SPOOF to Mesa Mayor John Giles.
They're usually bestowed at least a year later to make sure the award is proved as comedic satire in the proof of time

EVER WONDER WHY THERE ARE SO MANY MARRIOTT FAMILY-OWNED HOTELS HERE IN MESA??

PROVO, Utah – Nov 27, 2018 – The Romney Institute of Public Service & Ethics honored BYU Marriott MPA graduate Chris Brady, city manager of Mesa, Arizona, with the 2018 N. Dale Wright Alumnus of the Year Award at a luncheon on 26 October.
Receiving the award was particularly meaningful for Brady because of his close ties to the award’s namesake.

“It’s humbling to receive this award,” Brady says.
“Especially because it’s named after Norman Dale Wright, the man who initially encouraged me to apply to this program. To receive an award named in his honor is important to me.”

Brady’s relationship with Wright, his former MPA professor, began long before Brady applied to the MPA program when Wright lived next to Brady’s parents at BYU married student housing. “I used to tend Chris while his parents were out in the afternoons,” Wright says. Neither could have imagined that, decades later, Brady would be the recipient of an award named after his former babysitter. . .
