Billy doesn’t permit his name on the CGMA ballot, but has received numerous awards from it’s leadership.
While awards are only a token recognition by associates and peers, they represent how a person is perceived.
Billy has never competed for an award or publicly acclaimed his achievements. He believes they are a means of opening doors for ministry.
His faith in the motivation and influence of awards has driven him in the conveyance of over 1000 CGMA awards in the past six years.
