I am grateful to the chiefdelphi forums for having this award for people like Kathie. We have met "in person" only 3 times, but email almost daily. There is so much that she did not include in her remarks above. Kathie sees the big picture in FIRST and is willing to jump in and help anyone. She has been the main organizer for numerous white papers which I have used as handouts in too many situations to count. I remember hearing "Everything I learned in FIRST.." for the first time in the arena in Trenton NJ as it was being read over the PA system and thinking "I've got to meet the person who wrote that!" Little did I know I would a few months later.
Kathie has worked very hard for all the teams. She will take on a task that no one else wants to because she realizes it needs to done. She has tenacity and is not afraid to stand up for what she thinks is best for the kids involved in this program and the overworked mentors. She is a gem.
You go girl!!!!
