Linda Gallagher Receives Distinguished SIG Service Award!

It is with great excitement that we announce that the STC Board awarded our former SIG manager, Linda Gallagher, its Distinguished SIG Service Award (DSSA) at the winter Board meeting.

Linda was Manager of the CIC SIG for five years, and brought many updates and improvements to it. She implemented the Webinars, she performed the first membership survey, and she established the nomination/election process. She continues to be a source of knowledge and experience for the current leadership, and is always willing to give of her time and talents to keep the SIG strong and vital.

And so, Linda, for your unparalleled leadership of the Consulting and Independent Consulting Special Interest Group, and your continued support as it continues to grow and thrive, we sincerely thank you.
