Outstanding Community Partners

In 2000, CHIP launched the Outstanding Community Partner Awards,
and have celebrated eleven classes to date. The awards
epitomize those who go above and beyond to volunteer their time,
contribute their ideas and expertise, and provide leadership.
Our Outstanding Community Partners have molded CHIP into what it is
today, a nationally recognized model of collaboration.
