The BVSD is a very large entity with a lot of competing interests. Things don't move fast. Personally, I think running NCAR would be easier, although Bob Serafin or Rick Anthes might disagree. The director of UCAR's program for increasing diversity in the atmospheric sciences was one of eight Boulder County residents honored last month at the ninth annual Multicultural Awards Banquet. Other award categories included art, business, community service, government, education, health, and youth.
Nominations come from the community at large.
The program is sponsored by the Boulder County Community Action Program. Several of Tom's UCAR colleagues attended, including president Rick Anthes, and Tom also encountered many longtime friends and coworkers from his pre-UCAR days. Each winner was introduced with a two-minute video profile.
