Bob James, a former Memphis city councilman and prominent business leader, strongly supported the mission of Planned Parenthood Greater Memphis Region. He believed passionately that the education, health care and advocacy provided by PPGMR strengthen families in the Mid-South. Each year, PPGMR and its Board of Directors present an award in his honor to an individual who demonstrates unwavering support of the ideals of Planned Parenthood.

This year's honoree is Betsy Mandel-Carley. Ms. Mandel-Carley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been in private practice in Memphis since 1983. She is being honored for her years of support and community service. Most notably, Ms. Mandel-Carley testified in the original Texas court case that led to the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
