“I am deeply honored and privileged to receive the 2024 AIMS International Safety Award,” said Beazley. “My father always advised me to pursue a career that I am passionate about. I have found that in the intersection of the amusement industry and education. I firmly believe that without education, safety in our industry would be compromised.”
