The Columbus Council on World Affairs (CCWA) recently named the Columbus Crew the International Organization of the Year for its global influence on the Columbus community. Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter, Brand Ambassador Frankie Hejduk and midfielder Bernardo Anor were on hand to accept the award earlier this month.
“Our management team, our staff and our players really believe that Columbus is a tremendous place to live and influence the development of a dynamic soccer culture,” said Anthony Precourt, Columbus Crew Chairman and Investor-Operator when the award was announced last October.
“We are honored to have this positive reinforcement for our efforts and thank CCWA for spotlighting our club as a strong local ambassador to the world and a global ambassador to this region.”
