1988 USITT Special Citation
Richard Durst, presenter
Normand Bouchard has proven his value time
and again as a person Willing to adapt his talents and energy to the needs of the moment.
He began his work as an integral part of the
1989 Conference Committee for our first Canadian Conference & Stage Expo. As VicePresident for Relations, his next USIIT
assignment, he was perhaps the strongest advocate the USIIT Sections have ever had. As
conferences grew, he was asked to apply his organizational skills to a new position, Vice-President
for Special Operations, a position he stiU holds. FinaUy, because of his strength in computers and
technology, when USIIT recognized the value of instantaneous information and communication, he
volunteered to be USIIT's Web master, and has created an award-winning presence for SlIT on
the Internet.
