"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate."
Oprah Winfrey

One of the more important things done once a year at the TiE annual Retreat is to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of TiE Chapters, which is really the accomplishments of TiE charter members and their leadership.  And there is no acknowledgement that is more rewarding than your own peer group.  It is in that spirit we acknowledge the heroes and heroines.  They are reinventing TiE and leading the march into a very dynamic and turbulent future.
