Congratulations go to Creative Unlimited in N.J., for receiving the Max Mansfield Memorial Association Membership Award. This award is given to the association that shows the largest membership growth for the program year.

CU in N.J. has shown the greatest increase this year with a 29% growth over last year. Association Director Harold Kurtz has worked tirelessly with his team to increase N.J. membership. In fact, the membership numbers have steadily increased since 2001, going from 65 schools to 116. Thank you to all of the volunteers, off icials, and new teams that helped the N.J. Association expand.

Creative Competitions, Inc. created this award in honor of Max Mansfield, a long-time OotM volunteer and friend. Even more fitting, Harold and Max were close friends. He would surely be proud of the positive direction Harold and CU is taking with OotM!
