Congratulations to our two Distinguished Chapter Service Award winners: Ancilla Allsman and Janet Bran! The DCS Awards acknowledge the work of chapter members who provide exemplary service to the Society through their dedication to the chapter and its activities. Award winners are nominated by the chapter and approved by the Society’s Board of Directors.

Ancilla Allsman has served continuously as the layout and production editor of our chapter newsletter, ActiveVoice, for six years. During that time, she provided continuity, working with five newsletter editors and five chapter presidents and not missing one of the 22 issues. Ancilla also served as our chapter vice president and has been a valuable member of the program committee for several years. The citation on her award reads:

In recognition of your sustained contributions to the San Francisco chapter, especially your consistent support in the production of our chapter newsletter, ActiveVoice.

Janet Bran received her DCS Award jointly from the San Francisco and East Bay chapters, because of her involvement with both chapters. Janet recruited and leads the team that redesigned and maintains our chapter Web site. She is also a Web weaver for the East Bay chapter. She has served as president and treasurer for our chapter and treasurer for the East Bay. Her award reads:
