To show our appreciation for our stellar volunteers, JazzBoston established a “Volunteer of the Year” award and inaugurated it at our Annual Members and Friends Party on January 31. The first recipient was Paul Burega, the invaluable behind-the-scenes manager of JazzBird®, JazzBoston’s free global radio app. Paul, who has many years of experience in computer software and hardware, including providing international customer support for a wide range of software-based products, is also a professional photographer, quilter, gardener and international award winning philatelist.
