Spotlight on Members of the Southeast

SE DSI requires the combined efforts of many dedicated members in order to effectively function.  SE DSI recognizes such dedication in various ways including a Distinguished Service Award within our organization. However, these achievements are sometimes recognized and rewarded by other organizations outside SE DSI.  We would like to spotlight some of our members whose service to SE DSI has been recognized as a contributing factor for their service award.
