Doug Sheehan Neal Poppin Award Winner 2024

Congratulations to our 2024 Neal Poppin Award winner, Doug Sheehan! Each year, AbilityPath honors an individual whose determination, spirit, and positivity have led to successful community employment. While the pandemic was a challenging time for many people, Doug blossomed during this time, expanding his social circle, taking on leadership roles, and going after his dream job to work at a library.
His passion for animation led to publishing his first book in 2021, “Super Bunny and Wonder Bear,” a heartwarming tale of friendship. Continuing his growth, Doug decided to pursue his passion and apply for a job at Belmont Library. He was hired in 2023 and has become one of the library’s most reliable and dedicated employees. Doug is currently crafting his second book, featuring Dopey Dog and Smarty Cat. Doug’s journey reflects resilience, determination, and the transformative power of pursing one’s passions.
We are proud to honor Doug with this year’s award. Congratulations, Doug!
