KNIGHT – 2001-2002 RECIPIENT
OF THE by
the DSA Committee For those of you not familiar with the DSA, it’s akin to a lifetime achievement award. In Colorado, it’s the highest award within our state association. This year, the DSA Committee, comprised of the past three recipients - Mary George, Catherine Rodriguez, and Jason Meadors - received five nominations. The winner of the DSA usually has an extensive history of service in the association, has various committee experience, has various state and national certifications, and more often than not, has served as president of the association. This year’s recipient has done all that. This year’s recipient, like so many of us, is a transplant to Colorado. But this year’s recipient came here during school years, and her entire working life has been here in Colorado. Most past presidents of CCRA can point to some crisis that was a hallmark of their term, and that crisis is often legislative in nature. But this year’s recipient came to office when the association itself was staggering. Our president that year was completely committed to getting back to basics – putting the checkbook in order, riding herd on the committees that carried out the basic functions of our association, and instituting a budget and accountability process that turned our association away from impending disaster. But as important as that factor is, it is overshadowed by her crowning achievement in her long list of contributions. We have 20-some CIC installations now, but that wasn’t always the case. We started with one. It was in Denver for a short time before that judge moved on, and then it went out to Arapahoe County in Judge Ken Stuart’s courtroom. |
