During awards season, we honor excellence in costume design, so it is also fitting to honor our members who serve as Board members, office staff, and committee chair volunteers. They give their energy and time to pro- mote and protect the best interests of the CDG member- ship. So let's honor them and acknowledge their efforts to promote the art of costume design.
