Harold M. Pool Recognition Award

The Mile High Chapter (Denver) of AITP established this award program to honor the memory of the Chapter's first president, Harold M. Pool. He was instrumental in founding the Chapter in 1952, and contributed to its success. Besides being quite active in the Chapter and the data processing community until his death in 2001, he mentored others, and really cared about their professional development and success.

This award was provided by the Mile High AITP student chapter for many years. To be eligible to receive an award, candidates must have been national AITP student members. The students must have been either members of a Mile High Chapter-sponsored AITP student chapter, or individual members enrolled in a Colorado college or university if an official AITP student chapter did not exist at their school. Each candidate had to be nominated by their AITP student chapter advisor or, in the case of individual members, by a member of the Mile High Chapter.

This award no longer exists. The remaining funds were donated to the 2023 United States Information Technology Collegiate Conference (USITCC).

Sherry Anklam Memorial Award

The Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter of AITP established this award program to honor the memory of Sherry Anklam, a Chapter Past President who embodied all of the best values that this award is based on. Sherry passed away in 1995 at the early age of 44, but not before leaving her mark on AITP, the Northeastern Chapter of AITP and the IT profession. She provided a role model for those who knew her with her dedication to excellence in all she pursued including educational pursuits, ethical standards and a work ethic second to none—and her dedication to the profession through AITP.

This award, which is presented in the Spring and Fall of the year to worthy applicants, is restricted to students pursuing IT degrees who are active in their IT community and/or IT clubs. Applicant must be attending a college, university or technical college located in Wisconsin or Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

The criteria for selection for this award includes academic achievement, leadership, IT club & IT community participation, and community involvement.

The Chapter board also can/does make awards directly to its student chapters for worthwhile educational projects that it believes will benefit the student chapter members and embody the ideals that Sherry stood for.

The fund is managed by the Foundation for Information Technology Education with the selection process managed by the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter of AITP. For more information on this award, contact the Northeastern Wisconsin Chapter of AITP board.
