  • The CHS site says CU will be voting to select the winner of the Arch Award – any details on that forthcoming? Will they be posting any additional info about the nominees? (etc?)

  • We collected the nominations for the award, a group at CHS analyzed them and selected nominees & winner, and we’ll be unveiling the winner and presenting the award at the event on Feb 18th.

    Yes, more information about the three nominees should be online soon. ;)

  • Yes! Yes! and Yes!! Well done you nominators! I’m very happy to have worked with all three and i admire each of them.

  • Congrats Mrs. Lessner, Mrs. Girves and Mr. Wilkos.

  • And the winner is….Catherine Girves!!!
    Sorry for being so presumptuous-I call it excited. Honestly, all of the nominees deserve it, good job nominators. Can’t wait for the great unveiling

  • Congrat to Michael Wilkos for being the 2010 Arch Award winner! :D
