ITASA seeks to identity those who have contributed to their community. Since 2003, ITASA has recognized student groups and student leaders who have made outstanding contributions to their community. Winners are awarded each year at the East Coast Regional Conferences. Unless otherwise noted, anyone with no current ITASA National Board or Board of Directors affiliation may submit a nomination.
Collegiate Taiwanese American student organizations are ultimately who maintains the strength of the Taiwanese American community that it now has, and ITASA would like to take time to recognize the importance of their presence and contribution.
**Nomination forms must be emailed to itasa-awards@itasa.org no later than Monday, January 30, 2012 at noon PST.
