Our Quad-Cities Computer Society President,
Judi
McDowell !!
2012
APCUG's
Don Singleton Volunteer of the Year
At
the January 7th general meeting of the
Quad-Cities Computer Society (QCS), President
Judi McDowell was presented a "Don Singleton
Volunteer of the Year Award" from the
Association of Personal Computer User Groups.
APCUG is an international organization whose
primary mission is helping their member computer
user groups.
This
was the initial year for this prestigious award
that was designed to recognize hardworking,
dedicated volunteers that keep local
organizations around the globe growing and
thriving. There was a tie for first place honors,
so APCUG sent awards to both very deserving
nominees.
This award was established in memory of Don
Singleton of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for his significant
contributions to APCUG and his local computer
user group during his lifetime. Don and all key
volunteers have this in common: their advocacy
for technology and their user groups. With this
yearly award, APCUG hopes to emphasize the
importance of the volunteers to their member
groups.
Judi
McDowell exemplifies the best in volunteerism.
She has been a QCS member for more than two
decades and became highly involved in the club as
board member and officer very early. Under her
leadership as President, the club has grown and
thrived, gaining members and advancing in new
directions. Besides her presidential duties, Judi
has also shared her technical expertise by
leading numerous SIG groups, writing newsletter
articles, and cheerfully handling a lion's share
of the day-to-day operations that keep the club
running smoothly.
In addition to the APCUG award plaque, the Q-C
Computer Society board members presented Judi
with other gifts in token of the club’s
gratitude for her tireless service to the local
organization.
