2024 Award Winners |
Founders Award Scott Trapolino has always been the biggest cheerleader for SCAUG. No matter where he goes or what event he is attending he is always encouraging people to join SCAUG. Scott recently took on the initiative to coordinate a local group in Mississippi to further SCAUG in his State. The MS SCAUG Group has now had 2 events with over 75 people registered in each event. Scott's efforts have lead to over 190 Mississippi contacts added to the SCAUG database and 54 active members. This is the most members SCAUG has ever had from Mississippi. As MS Rep for SCAUG Scott set a goal at the start of his term to increase Mississippi membership and host regional events in his local area. Scott not only accomplished this goal but created a synergy among the GIS community. Thanks to Scott's vision and coordination Mississippi is well on its way to having a strong and pro active User Group. Scott is a dynamic GIS leader who is very deserving of the 2024 Founder's Award. |
Thumbs Up Awards The MS SCAUG Steering Committee (Haley Feather, Holli Gill, Tracey Milton and Scott Trapolino) have been a friend to SCAUG by donating significant time and/or resources; going above and beyond normal expectations. The MS SCAUG group has hosted two large events in the MS area with over 75 people registered for each event. The Steering Committee dedicated significant time and efforts to bring the GIS users of Mississippi together. This effort has increased SCAUG Membership in the area and created participation that SCAUG has not seen from that area in the past. This group of individuals saw a need for a local initiative and went above and beyond to make it happen. This group definitely deserves the Thumbs Up Award! |
