Last year, a new category of awards was initiated — The Editor’s Award. I am proud to present the 2011 award to LISA KRUEGER. Lisa is not an officer, committee chair, or even a member of HGS. Lisa is an artist and graphic designer, but she has been and continues to be an important part of HGS. Lisa is responsible for the layout and design of the HGS Bulletin. She assembles all of the bits and pieces delivered into the journal that our members receive each month. Yes, that is what she is paid to do. But Lisa does so much more. For nearly a decade now, she has tracked down late ads and followed up with an author when a photo or figure wasn’t working. She is the Bulletin’s corporate memory with her tenure extending well beyond the Editor’s term. She has worked on weekends and with our printer when content was running late. She has acted as a mentor to this Editor, ensuring that we know what to do and when. She acted as a sounding board and raised red flags when something just didn’t seem right. For all these actions which are above and beyond her official position, the society presents Lisa Krueger with this year’s Editor’s Award. To Lisa Krueger for your continued support of the HGS Bulletin, and your assistance in making it the most widely read local society publication, we honor you!
