 The EDUCAUS awards program recognizes the remarkable achievement of some exceptional members of our community, and we're so grateful to Moran Technology Consulting for sponsoring our awards program. The Community Leadership Award recognizes leaders and active volunteers in service to our community of IT professionals and honors those who epitomize the spirit of community and connection through their leadership, commitment, and service to the EDUCAUS community and to the broader profession as well. This year's Leadership Award recognizes Hillary J. Baker, Vice President for Information Technology and CIO Emeritus at California State University, Northridge. Throughout her career, Hillary has demonstrated exceptional personal commitment to our community and to the profession, always modeling the values of inclusiveness and integrity. She's given much to EDUCAUS through her board and committee service, and her international perspective has enhanced her work, for example, spearheading the International Task Force, which focused on outreach with our partner associations from all over the world. Hillary's made it a focus of her career to mentor women in IT and to encourage them to step into IT leadership roles. Congratulations, Hillary, for making our community better. I'd like to express my sincere thanks to those who nominated me, the awards sponsor Moran Technology Consulting, the EDUCAUS Recognition Committee, and the EDUCAUS Board, as well as all the wonderful colleagues throughout my career, especially those who mentored and guided me along the way. My grandmother used to encourage me to make every moment count, which seems particularly relevant during this challenging and unprecedented year. As a young girl, I loved science and followed my dreams to pursue a mathematics degree which opened the pathway for my IT career. One of my passions has been to help support and encourage other women in information technology. By receiving this award today, I truly hope it inspires other women to follow STEM careers and pursue IT leadership roles in higher education. EDUCAUS has always been my go-to place for information, conferences, and networking opportunities. I have thoroughly enjoyed giving back by serving on numerous committees, teaching alongside expert CIO colleagues as faculty for the Leadership Institute, and as John mentioned, working with him and leaders of similar associations worldwide to become more responsive to the EDUCAUS international community. My career journey would not have been possible without incredible support from my family. So thank you to my wonderful children who inspire me to be my very best, to my adventurous siblings who often push me to go way outside my comfort zone, and of course, my heartfelt thanks to my husband, Michael, who has been my true strength and provided me with his unwavering support behind the scenes. As I thank you all, I encourage you to make every moment count.
