Max Mansfield Memorial Award Winner Announced
This year's Max Mansfield Memorial Award goes to
Creativity Unlimited in Michigan for the 2007-08
Program Year.
With a membership growth of 15%, even more students
will get to express their creativity, make new friends, and
learn many new things in Michigan.
Association Director Karen Neilson credits Michigan's
increased membership with its new creative thinking workshop
that helps expose more kids, parents, and educators to
OotM. She also believes it was the work of Michigan's many
volunteers who, among other duties, give awareness presentations
to interested groups throughout the state.
"It is important to grow Odyssey of the Mind memberships
so that more kids can participate. Odyssey of the
Mind is a program that is good for kids," said Neilson.
World Finals was also held in Michigan last year. All
of the excitement and activity must've made an impact.
The volunteers also left a great impression on participants
and supporters from around the world by helping so many
during the event.
Neilson said it felt great to win the Award, "We are honored
to have Michigan's hard-working volunteers recognized!"
Creative Competitions, Inc created this award in honor
of Max Mansfield and rewards membership growth.
He will always be remembered
as someone who selflessly volunteered
for Odyssey so that as many
people as possible could experience
creative problem solving. This
award is CCI's way to honor his
years of dedication and hard work as
well as all Odyssey associations
attempting to do the same
