2009 Pam McCutcheon - PPWC Volunteer of the Year
Friday, 01 May 2009 01:23
Web Editor
 Pam has worked with PPWC pretty much since its inception in a vast array of categories. She’s done the book store for years, handled registration, faculty, and now this year is PPWC Co-Director. Never in that time has she been recognized for her hard work. True, she spent a few years as a paid employee, but now she’s back to donating her precious time (she’s working full-time again) and has handled the bulk of conference organization to this point since I’ve been swamped in other areas of my life. She’s offered workshops almost every year and her Pitch Practice is one of the most beloved things we do.
Over the years Pam has donated time, intelligence, energy, organization, business sense and warmth to conference organizers and attendees. We can’t think of anyone better suited for this award.

2008 Martha Lancaster - PPWC Volunteer of the Year

 Martha is the first person you see when you enter a PPW Write Brain session. She's likely the first person you see when you pick up your conference registration packet. When you join or renew your membership, Martha handles it. When you register for conference, or a special event, Martha handles it. Brochure and newsletter layout... are you catching my drift here? We're all extremely happy and fortunate to have Martha as a part of our team, so we're excited to announce that Martha Lancaster is our 2008 Pikes Peak Writers Conference Volunteer of the Year.
Martha has volunteered for the PPWC since 1997. A couple of years after she was widowed, she needed to fill a void in her life and asked Jimmie Butler if he had any jobs for her. That was a loaded question! She was the PG contest coordinator for a couple of years, and then passed the contest to other capable hands. She found her niche as graphic artist and conference registrar for PPWC and is currently the office administrator/ registrar for Pikes Peak Writers. She is now (mostly) retired after a long career as a freelance commercial artist. She writes children?s picture books and middle-grade novels. Martha is a lover of the great outdoors and an avid hiker, skier, painter, and nature photographer. She grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, and landed in Colorado by way of FedEx. She has two grown children and two teenaged grandsons.

2007 Winner
Laura Hayden
Laura Hayden has gone above and beyond in service of PPW and the conference. She stepped up as Director several times when we really needed her over the years, yet still manages to maintain her enthusiasm. She's innovative, fiscally responsible and remarkably, manages to make everything come together smoothly while making it look easy. She's been the driving force in creating an exciting and memorable 15th anniversary--truly the Queen of the Universe. We're proud to award the 2007 Pikes Peak Writers Conference Volunteer of the Year Award to Laura Hayden.

2005 Chris Olson - PPWC Volunteer of the Year

2005 Winner
Chris Olson
The Pikes Peak Writers Conference is a time-consuming effort, one which requires many people and many hours of planning. In 2004, PPW recognized Chris Olson with the Pikes Peak Writers Conference Volunteer of the Year Award. As the Faculty Director, Chris was responsible for recruiting and managing all of our conference presenters, a process that starts the day after the previous conference ends. Most years the Faculty Director has an assistant to help keep the workload under control, but last year, Chris took on the position by herself and brought in a stellar faculty (and came back this year for more!). We thank Chris for her dedication to the Pikes Peak Writers Conference.
