Grateful for Our BD Community The response to the Gail Schultz International Fellowship BD International VIP Experience giveaway was something truly special. Across our community, there was a shared sense of curiosity, excitement, and possibility . Every entry reflected more than just interest in a trip. It reflected a desire to grow, to explore, and to be part of something meaningful through this experience.
Because of that collective energy, this moment feels bigger than a single announcement .
We are honored to congratulate this year’s recipient . While they have chosen to remain anonymous, their journey ahead represents exactly what the Gail Schultz International Fellowship was created to inspire . This opportunity is about stepping into a new environment, experiencing the global stage of the Basel Tattoo , and gaining perspective through music, travel, and connection. It is a chance to see the world a little differently and to carry that experience forward.
Experiences like this extend far beyond the itinerary. They stay with a person . They shape how someone sees their role in a larger community. They deepen appreciation for the discipline, artistry, and collaboration that define what we do together. Most importantly, they create lasting memories that continue to inspire long after the trip ends.
To everyone who participated, thank you . Your enthusiasm, your support, and your willingness to engage are what bring programs like this to life. This fellowship exists because of a community that believes in creating opportunities for growth and discovery .
We are grateful for the way you showed up .
And while this year’s journey is just beginning, it reflects something ongoing. A shared commitment to investing in experiences that expand horizons and strengthen connection across our community.
We can’t wait to see where this journey leads .
