On November 3, Brother David Henley received an Outstanding Recognition Award from the National Religious Vocation Conference (NRVC). The award is given to members who provide leadership, innovation, and example to vocation directors of all religious communities.

He was nominated for his broad reach via social media and his practice of traveling widely to recruit potential Glenmarians. Over the past 14 years Brother David has posted more than 500 articles on Glenmary’s website, cultivated a list of 4,000 followers on Facebook, shared 115 videos on a vocations YouTube channel, and shared 800 posts with 1,600 Instagram followers. Along the way he’s visited 43 states, wearing out three cars over 300,000 miles.

Brother David’s new assignment is in Martin County, North Carolina, where he is involved  in community outreach ministries—and vocations work on the side!
