The Community Achievement Awards (CAA) program recognizes STC Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) for exceptional accomplishments in meeting Society goals. The awards not only acknowledge that the obligations of a properly functioning community have been met, but that the winning communities have performed well beyond expectations.
The awards program recognizes, in a visible and meaningful manner, communities that demonstrate outstanding, innovative, and sustained performance in advancing the goals of the Society. STC recognizes the following communities for their efforts. Thank you to the committee, Tricia Spayer, Maryann Bowen, MaryKay Grueneberg, Mak Pandit, and Jamye Sagan.
