Other Items

• Awards Manual in draft expect final this year

  individuals for multiple awards for the same body
  of work. Be selective in the award nomination
  process.

Council Meeting Agenda

• Rather than thinking about starting new awards,
  think about more effectively using the awards
  that we already have in place
