The list of honorees is impressive: John Egan, Stan Hallett, Florence Scala, June LaVelle and Scott Bernstein. This year is special. Studs Terkel has consented to let the Center For Neighborhood Technology toast him. What an opportunity for all of us who have resonated to this Chicago voice which has for years been able to rally us or make us reflect on the important issues. Studs has been more than a voice. He has given us fellow Chicagoans a place, here in town, to be heard and respected. For that we love him. We hope to use this occasion not only to toast Studs but also to celebrate together with others who share some vision of community. -Lew Kreinberg Masters of Board of Directors Scott Bernstein Ceremony Ramiro Borja PRESIDENT MISSION STATEMENT Leon Despres CHAIRMAN Aaron Freeman Nancy Mathews Founded in 1978, the Center for Neighborhood Technology James Hadley EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VICE CHAIRMAN seeks affordable, appropriately scaled, locally controlled Stephen A.
