BRUNGARDT HONOMICHL & COMPANY , P.A. RECOGNIZES 2005
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AWARD WINNER

Julie Wellner, President of Wellner Architects, was recognized Tuesday as the winner of the 2005 Community Leadership Award. The award was presented by Tony Richardson of the Kansas City Chiefs on behalf of Brungardt Honomichl & Company, P.A. (BHC).

Wellner was honored during a breakfast event at Lions Gate Golf and Country Club hosted by BHC, a leading civil engineering firm celebrating 13 years in business. From its beginning, BHC has been very involved in the Kansas City community through financial contributions and through time investments by employees.

“We are proud to have been actively involved in giving of our time and money to many organizations in Kansas City. Our heritage of giving led us to find and honor, through our Community Leadership Award, others that have a similar belief and who are making a difference in this community,” said Kevin Honomichl, president of BHC, during his remarks at the annual awards event.

“Julie Wellner was a perfect choice for the 2005 award. She is very deserving of recognition because of her unselfish involvement in The Hope Center located in Kansas City, Missouri,” Honomichl added.

“Julie has brought out the best in so many people and organizations by providing encouragement and involving many others with The Hope Center. Julie’s actions resulted in new teaching pods for over 60 children, a new heating system, roof replacements, new windows, walls and doors and a multitude of other needed improvements for the center”, said Chris Jehle, Executive Director of The Hope Center, during his comments at the breakfast.

Tony Richardson of the Kansas City Chiefs was the award presenter. Richardson is well known not only for his action on the field but for his ongoing, positive action in the community, and is a very strong advocate for programs that help children. BHC leaders also announced a financial contribution in Julie’s honor to The Hope Center.

BHC is based in Overland Park, KS and was founded in 1992 to deliver outstanding civil engineering service and expertise. 2005 marks the 13-year anniversary of the company which is experiencing rapid growth with projects such as a lifestyle shopping center at 119th and Roe Avenue, being developed by RED development, and the 2007 residential street program for the City of Overland Park.
