Recognition
The success of CWC is dependant on the dedication of many hardworking members. We recognize exceptional service of our volunteers through two Awards. |
Ina Coolbrith Award
Periodically, the CWC Central Board bestows the Ina Coolbrith Award to honor a member for exemplary service to CWC and / or the Central Board.
In October 2006, the Central Board selected Barbara Truax for this honor. Barbara served many years as state president.
Past winners of the Coolbrith Award were Betty Freeman and Ruth Theodos. |
Jack London Awards
Every other year, CWC branches may nominate one of their members to receive a Jack London Award in recognition of outstanding service to the organization. |
