awards to outstanding volunteers within the membership, and awards to a
Canadian editor and writers.
The
Lawrence Jackson Outstanding Achievement Award - an annual award given
to a member who has shown outstanding volunteer commitment to the association
at the national level. PWAC congratulates this year's winner of the "Larry
Jackson" award,

of service, including serving as PWAC National President and other Board
positions and her ongoing work with her local Chapter.
A frequent attendee at PWAC National Conferences & AGMs, Suzanne was unable to
accept her award in-person. Mark Kearney, one of her three nominators,
accepted the award on her behalf. Read the full text of Suzanne's acceptance

Why Suzanne Boles AND WriteConnection
The written word can be a
powerful tool. It can compel readers to take notice, to purchase products or
to (gasp) move away to the next website or magazine article, or something else
that they feel is more interesting. Our job is to make the reader want to read what you
have to say and to pay attention. We do this with compelling content and ideas
created by putting together the Write words that will keep them reading. Together, we can make that happen.
