About SPIRIT:

The St. Lawrence County Information Technology Advisory Board wishes to spotlight innovative technology implemented in today’s North Country organizations through SPIRIT Awards granted to deserving candidates. The possibilities for applying new information technologies are limited only by our imagination and creativity. The Board believes that the best way to expand our imagination is to look to others in the example they set. A SPIRIT Award just may spark a brainstorm for your organization when you consider what others have done in theirs. 

 

In Memory:

The SPIRIT awards are a tribute to committee member Helene Mellon who passed away suddenly in March 2010. Helene will be remembered for her valued service on the SLC IT Committee. Her work on several projects, including the North Country Technology Symposium and the SPIRIT Awards 2010 is remembered. She is missed by fellow committee members and by the St. Lawrence County community.

 

The St. Lawrence County Information Technology Advisory Board will again accept nominations for deserving business, organization or individual whose work in the area of information technology is deserving of recognition. SPIRIT Awards will be presented at the upcoming North Country Technology Symposium on May 23, 2012 at Clarkson University.
