The Shining Star MADA is awarded to an individual who has displayed outstanding dedication or has been responsible for outstanding accomplishments of local significance in the field of multiple births in a local community in Canada. One Shining Star award will be given out to each MBC Chapter annually.

The winner of the 2022 Shining Star award for the Windsor-Essex Parents of Multiple Births Association (WEPOMBA) is Beth Triolet.

Beth has displayed outstanding dedication to our local Chapter and has been responsible for outstanding leadership of the local Chapter Executive Board for several years.

Wearing many different hats with many different roles on the Board, the past 3 years truly have been the hardest. She has been carrying our Chapter through a pandemic and encouraging local connections in the multiple births community of the Greater Windsor Essex Area.

She has planned every event and led attendees through every in-person meeting, welcoming new families to make them more comfortable in a new environment. She truly has been the heart and soul of our local organization and one of the many reasons why so many families stay involved with POMBA.

Beth makes sure new families feel welcomed and supported. Her level of commitment and engagement has driven this chapter, and without her we would not have survived the past few years.
