The Civic Association’s Community Service Award Breakfast, always a highlight of the season will feature Richard Engel, Chief Foreign Correspondent for NBC News.

The award breakfast will be held February 10, 2025  from 9:00 am until 11:00 am at The Breakers.

Tickets are $200 for Civic Association members and $300 for non-members.

Richard Engel is widely regarded as one of America’s leading foreign correspondents for his coverage of wars, revolutions, and political transitions around the world for over twenty years. He is recognized for his outstanding reporting on the Syrian civil war, the 2011 revolution in Egypt, the conflict in Libya, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and overall unrest throughout the Arab world.

Engel was named chief foreign correspondent of NBC News in April 2008. His reports appear across all NBC News and MSNBC platforms, including “NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt,” “TODAY,” “Meet the Press,” “Dateline” and NBCNews.com.

Engel also hosts the special ongoing award-winning series “On Assignment with Richard Engel” on MSNBC, which draws on his over twenty years of experience of award-winning original reporting in the field and combines in-depth reporting with interviews in key locations across the world.

Each year at the breakfast, the Civic Association announces and honors the recipient of its annual William J. “Bill” Brooks Community Service Award. Brooks was a Town Council member and longtime general manager of WPTV Channel 5 who died in 2010.
