Josephine M. Picone Lifetime Achievement Award

Over the years, the CSRT has had some exemplary members who have laid down a solid foundation for the Society to build upon. These members, for over 20 years of their professional lives, were hard-working, never-tiring leaders who moved the Society forward. They have lifted the Society, giving it strength and dignity. This award honors these individuals and is named after Jo Picone who has been a dedicated, active member of the CSRT since 1957. Life members shall not pay dues and will have all the privileges and obligations of Society members.
