Delaware Odyssey of the Mind (Delcaps) has won the Max Mansfield Memorial Association Membership Award for the 2006-07 Program Year. This award is given to the association that shows the largest membership growth for the year.

Delaware Odyssey has shown the greatest increase in membership, with a 16% growth over last year. Co-AD's Ron Raab-Long and Mary Kay Valentine have worked hard with their association to keep Delaware Odyssey growing. In fact, they have shown a steady increase in the past five years going from 20 schools in 2002 to 74 schools in 2007. Thanks to all volunteers, officials, and teams that helped the Delaware Association continually expand. This gives even more students a chance to expand their creative thinking.

Other associations to look out for are Michigan, Florida, and Pennsylvania. They all had a great year as well. Past recipients include New York OM Association and CU in NJ. Creative Competitions, Inc. created this award in honor of Max Mansfield, a long-time OotM volunteer and friend. He will always be remembered as someone who selflessly volunteered for Odyssey so that as many people as possible could experience OotM. This award is CCI's way to honor him and all Odyssey associations attempting to do the same.
