Chapter Service Award
Rodney Adair Memorial Award
More than twenty years ago, Rodney Adair left Oregon Columbia IABC with a legacy of active membership and dedicated service. After he died tragically in a car accident, the chapter created the Rodney Adair Memorial Award in 1980 "for sustained and exceptional service to the association and for professional advancement." This is the highest honor our chapter can bestow to a member.
Trudy Hussmann For three years Trudy has faithfully and reliably managed the chapter finances month after month. Furthermore, she has organized our financial records, implemented our credit card acceptance process, started the audit process, and has sought out new members to join our group. She always knows when to ask prudent questions about our financial affairs, and she also knows when it's feasible for us to forge new directions, such as with the Membership Grant program and with donations to the IABC Foundation. She makes extremely detailed responsibilities appear to be effortless work. Despite the overall national economic turmoil, OCIABC's finances have held steady for serveral years, thanks to Trudy Hussmann’s careful management.
