DACS Wins APCUG Awards

By Richard Corzo

DACS is a member of the Association of PC User Groups, a nationwide organization linking the computer and software industries with the user community. Each year in June, APCUG holds a contest among its members that submit their websites and three newsletter issues from the past year. The user groups are divided into small, medium, and large groups by membership, and judged on the basis of design quality, breadth of content, and relevance to user group needs. This year, DACS won first prize in both of the large group newsletter and website categories.

APCUG Newsletter Award APCUG Website Award

DACS has earned APCUG newsletter awards a number of times over the years, most recently in 2007, and as our Internet presence grew, we also placed as runner-up in the website contest in 2007. This is the first time both media efforts have earned top honors in each of the website and newsletter contests in the large group category! In the height of the user group phenomenon we were considered a medium-sized group. Our current status is a measure of our leadership and dedication in the face of declining user group membership.

Congratulations to DACS webmasters, Annette van Ommeren and Richard Corzo for taking first place in the APCUG website contest among large groups. Congratulations also to our outgoing newsletter copy editor Ahmad Asgharian and layout editor Allan Ostergren for taking first place in the newsletter contest. I’d also like to thank all those who contributed articles in the past year. This is an impressive achievement and I hope everyone realizes what a great resource DACS is for its members.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome our new newsletter copy editor Richard Teasdale.
