Oops, we did it again!

Our Year of Education initiative, which we started in 2013, has gained us a PaceSetter Award from STC. Here is what they said:

Nitza:

As a member of the Pace

setter Award Evaluation Committee, it is my honor and pleasure to inform you that the STC NY Metro Chapter has earned the Pacesetter Award for 2014. The citation on your certificate will read:
