Congratulations to our 2008 Boscar Winners

At the 17th Annual NetIP Conference this year, a new tradition was started. Boscar Awards were given as part of a red-carpet themed gala to recognize the remarkable achievements of our organization’s finest leaders and celebrate the true spirit of NetIP. Our chapter leaders often go unnoticed while tirelessly preparing events across North America and constructing NetIP’s reputation as a positive and meaningful organization. However, these chapter leaders are the primary reason for our success as a non-profit voluntary organization that has slowly and steadily expanded to have a presence in 23 cities across the US and Canada.

It was NetIP North America’s honor this year to realize the accomplishments of individuals that often times go unnoticed as we strive to be a united and high-performing community. This year, we brought the style, glamour and flair of Bollywood and the dignity, sophistication, and inspiration of the Oscars, and united them into one magnificent event: The BOSCARS.

As many of us have learned over the course of the 17th Annual Conference, if we can find time to develop our professional skills, build on important personal connections, and make a positive difference in our communities, we will find life much more exciting, and ultimately, more rewarding and fulfilling. The leaders and chapters recognized at this year’s first ever BOSCARS ceremony have demonstrated these important values.
