Extra Awards

2019 – Appreciation Award

Janet Trader – Presented With Gratitude for 20 years of Service Planning the Conventions 1999-2019 In 1998 John Nuccitelli chose Janet Trader as his protégée to follow in his footstep in planning the APWS Conventions. That year he had her work with him closely making arrangements for the trip to Kansas City, MO. In 1999, she planned a convention at Green Bay, Wisconsin. 20 years later, 2019, she planned the convention in Orlando, Florida. Planning is so much more than selecting a hotel at the chosen location. I learned so much about the process this year with Gene and I being hosts for the 2019 Florida Convention.

2023 – Appreciation Award

ET Trader – Presented With Gratitude for 18 Years of Service as the APWS Treasurer 2005-2023 and Presently still Serving.
