Eric Todd receiving the leadership award

This award is given the following description:

This is for an individual that has shown exceptional leadership qualities within the USAWA during the past year. Things that should be looked at are: going above the level expected of an Officer position, promoting sanctioned events with emphasis being on promoting National or World Competitions, promoting the USAWA by developing a strong club, writing articles for publications about the USAWA, or through other means.

I was honored to have been chosen by the membership for this award.  It has been a pleasure serving as the Secretary/Treasurer and Website director.  It was also fun having my mini-me present it to me.

 

2023 COLORADO RECORD DAY

By RJ Jackson and Sanjiv Gupta

Two lifts attended the July Colorado Record Day and we had a great time lifting. Sanjiv came down from Denver and Crystal represented Colorado Springs. The lifts were performed at VASA Fitness which certainly made for some coordinating with the other patrons and some curious glances. Two sessions were held with an early morning session for Sanjiv and a later session for Crystal. RJ Jackson hosted and officiated the Record Day.
