United Way’s Night of Honor for Jeffrey E. Smith

On Thursday, September 14, 2017, The Village of Bedford Walk hosted an evening in honor of Jeffrey E. Smith, JES Holdings President and CEO. Due to his immense support of Heart of Missouri United Way, Mr. Smith was presented with the Alexis de Tocqueville Society Bo Fraser Leadership Award.

This award is given to individuals who have donated exceptional financial and personal support to United Way. As a donor in the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, Mr. Smith continually demonstrates his commitment to philanthropy by encouraging other individuals and companies to financially support United Way. Additionally, his commitment to bringing individuals together to advance the common good and providing assistance and opportunities for those in need led to his nomination for the award.

“Jeff Smith’s support of United Way and work in our community illustrates all of the criteria for the award. It was an honor to present the award to him and to recognize not only his support, but also the support and commitment provided by the Smith family and the employees at JES Holdings to United Way,” said Andrew Grabau of United Way.
