The Pacesetter Award recognizes an individual or committee of the

|

recognizing a need and setting up our mentoring program to meet it.

| President's
Award
The President’s Award recognizes "a person who has made
a significant contribution to the Toronto chapter’s year and
is not otherwise (sufficiently) recognized." Members, non-members
and executive are all eligible.
1997-98

the President felt compelled, once again, to turn the award into
a bouquet, recognizing a number of individuals who were unusually
