A BANNER YEAR FOR ETR
Awards & Recognition
We had an award-winning second quarter here at ETR.
ETR and its staff were recognized in many ways—
Douglas Kirby, PhD,
world-renowned researcher and ETR senior research
scientist who died suddenly in December 2012, has
received many posthumous awards for his important
work. Most recently, Dr. Kirby was recognized by
TeenNow California through their David S. Crawford
Member of the Year Award.
In addition, last November Dr. Kirby’s family traveled
to the American Public Health Association annual
meeting in Boston to receive
the Sedgwick Memorial Medal
on his behalf. The Sedgwick
Medal is the highest honor
APHA confers.
Laura Norvig, MLIS
won the annual member
appreciation engagement
award from the Nonprofit
Technology Network,
in acknowledgement of
her helpful posts and
community-building
efforts in the NTEN
community.

Eleven of ETR’s
new health
education titles
won 2013 National Health
Information Awards. These are
very competitive submissions,
and it’s always an honor to be
recognized
through this
program.
Twelve students from
Watsonville High
in Watsonville, California, participants in ETR’s TEC
(Technology-Education-Community) program, were
recognized in a national competition sponsored
by the Entertainment Software Association and
the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. Their winning
submission was a mobile app designed to help other
students in their high school navigate the path to
college. Two of the students
travelled to Washington,
D.C., and participated in
a White House briefing.
