SHINE Award

This award is designed to recognize DUG members who volunteer their valuable time to participate in the DUG organization.  Without them, DUG would not exist as a successful organization.   Members rearrange their daily schedules to prepare presentations, participate in conference calls to discuss Client Advisory Team issues, plan the national and regional conferences, and offer information and solutions to colleagues who may be total strangers. 

As the leadership of the DUG organization, we believe it is the mission of the DUG Governing Board to recognize those who assist us with that responsibility.   We are proud to call them leaders and friends who SHINE.
