At our 20th Anniversary celebration Friday evening, the Brazelton Touchpoints Center Lifetime
Contribution Award was presented to “someone who has been there since the beginning,” whose
grace, generosity, commitment, and steadying hand shaped our work and our organization—the
beloved and much missed Chrissy Brazelton. Two of Dr. Brazelton’s daughters accepted the
award on their mother’s behalf. Reception guests then watched an inspirational video produced
by Hank O’Karma that captured the breadth and impact of the tools, programs, research base,
and network that BTC has built over the past 20 years.

On Saturday, Joshua Sparrow spoke powerfully about the Center’s vision for the future.
Executive Director Jane Tewksbury closed the conference by leading everyone in a word cloud
exercise. She asked us to share our feelings in a single word. Collectively, we left feeling
inspired, refreshed, reenergized, and feliz (happy), but also, in Touchpoints lingo, “disorganized”
and challenged to process and apply all that we have learned in order to take Touchpoints to the
next level.
