Andrew Boylan is 2019 Recipient

Andrew Boylan is the worthy recipient of the 2019 Phil Adleson Education & Advocacy Award.  The award is presented annually to a member who both educates and advocates on behalf of UTA and its membership.

The stringent criteria for the award includes being a ‘master teacher’, who has presented and educated members in a clear and informative manner with excellently researched and prepared materials; advocated before public officials on behalf of the association; and drafted legislation on behalf of the association.

In presenting the award, UTA President David Dutcher said that Boylan has “drafted legislation on many matters of importance to trustees including the revision and reorganization of trustees fee calculation language as well as drafting the cease and desist exemption for HOBR due diligence phone calls.”

Boylan is currently serving his first term on the Board of Directors.  He has spoken on several dinner topics including the Obduskey decision, the Daniels decision as well as legislative updates.  “Andrew has actively lobbied annually in Sacramento on behalf of UTA”, said Dutcher “and he has provided case law summaries at the last few annual conferences, providing relevant, practical and critical information to trustees.”

“I am extremely honored to receive the Phil Adleson Award,” said Boylan.  “I learned so much from him during his annual conference case law updates and throughout the year as he advocated on behalf of the UTA and shared his industry knowledge. I encourage all UTA members to educate and advocate in Phil’s honor so that we can continue to grow our organization and remain a United Trustees Association.”
