I recently received my POC Talk newsletter and was shocked and thrilled to see that I have been nominated for the 2009 Harold Taylor Award. What an honor and a surprise!!! Thank you so much to whoever nominated me. I did not see this coming and am just thrilled to be apart of such a distinguished list of organizers. 
Nominees are the people who have been recognized by their peers as having given something back to POC, its members, and the organizing industry. The winner will be announced at the National POC Conference in Calgary this November. I will be a speaker the conference. The presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. I look forward to meeting many organizers.
Thank you for this honor. I am proud to be apart of POC and have always wanted to give as much as I can to other organizers and the organizing industry. That is why A Red Bench was born!
