What the Award Means: “This is the highest award and honor that CSI has to bestow on its members. I am honored and humbled that CSI bestowed this high award upon me. I was speechless when I was notified by the Institute’s Secretary, Ms Anne Roper, FCSI.”
#2)
Most Significant Accomplishments: “The most significant are membership expansion in the Northwest Region, establishing new chapters and expanding their membership, developing a 501-C3 foundation in the Puget Sound area, and developing educational programs at the regional, individual chapter, and College of Fellows level of CSI. It took a team of leaders at all levels to make this a reality.”
