The second annual CTCNet Innovative Initiative Award will be made at the June 1997 All-Affiliates Meeting in Pittsburgh. Last year's recipient of this award was Marcia Snowden who coincidentally is at the New Beginnings Learning Center in Pittsburgh. The award is intended to recognize the contributions of an individual from a CTCNet affiliate center who has initiated and carried out activities that have extended the reach of the center to people who otherwise would not have equal access to technology. The deadline for nominations for this year's awards is May 1, 1997.
Nominees can be center staff or volunteers, or members of the center's constituency.
Candidate's name and history of involvement in the affiliate center. The reasons for the nomination, including a description of innovative procedures and programs and results. Evidence of outcomes of the innovative activities for participants. The award is made possible through a trust being established by Tim Barclay. The aim has been to help spark an exchange of experience between the cities, speed up the process of creating a European information society and hopefully, help avoid expensive mistakes.
