2012 - Tracy Phillips
Nominated by the Color and Appearance Division. In addition to Tracy's work in almost every Board position within the Color & Appearance Division, she experienced significant success in improving communication as the Division's Communications Chair in 2009-2011. Tracy was responsible for building and maintaining almost all of the web pages currently on SPECAD.org. When the website was launched, it was given a new and modern look and a lot more content. The site is now the primary place for communicating with members and for archiving important/historical records. She also built a password protected "toolbox" area where important board-only documents are kept. This ensures that as board members change, the content and continuity of the Division is maintained for future reference. It was noted that Tracy "dragged the Division's members into the 21st Century" through the implementation of social networking. She not only utilizes modern communication tools for current members, but also in the acquisition of new members. Furthermore, her work in the creation of a searchable compilation DVD containing all of CAD's technical papers dating back to the 1960's is a very significant contribution. |
 |
2011 - Earl Balthazar
Nominated by the Color & Appearance Division. Earl has worked with three Sections and one Division, accepting a variety of roles with each group, including President of one Section and Chair of the Division. He has been a newsletter editor, technical program chair, Councilor and many other positions over the years. Earl was particularly cited by the HSM Election Committee for his efforts in moving the Color & Appearance Division RETEC to a different location when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans; establishing a Student Chapter at a high school in Dallas, TX; and his involvement and activities on the Council level |
