2009 Chapter Cup Award - A message from Meg Couglin regarding an award to the East Michigan Chappter received during the 2009 Annual Conference and Exhibition:

Our Chapter received the First Place Chapter Cup Award for 2009 honoring the top performing chapter in the Association for outstanding achievement serving the mission and the membership of the A&WMA. I would like to thank each and every Board Member, Local Host Committee Member and Chapter Leadership for your contributions to the Chapter and Local Host Committee which together gave the East Michigan Chapter the points necessary to win this award.  In particular, I would like to thank Michele Buckler for filling out and submitting the application for the award.

According to the application the winner was to be recognized during the Honors and Awards Ceremony at the Annual Conference & Exhibition.  The announcement was actually made at the Sections and Chapters Council meeting in lieu of the Honors and Awards Ceremony. I believe this change was to shorten the length of the program in order to complete the luncheon program in time for the 2:00 PM session immediately following the Honors & Awards luncheon.

In addition, the announcement that we won the award is to be published in the EM magazine and we are to receive a $200 voucher for the Association's on-line library.

Congratulations!
