THE SECOND ANNUAL ENA AWARDS


The Electronic Networking Association recognition awards will be presented at the ENA conference in Allentown PA, May 25-28, 1989. The awards are named for David E. Rodale, ENA's "first member" in honor of his early efforts in this new medium.

DAVID E. RODALE AWARDS PROGRAM

David was the very first "official" ENA member. At the founding meeting in New York City in April 1985, those of us who were present made our commitments to create this new organization in various ways. There came a point when it was necessary to say "I am a member and here is my membership contribution to help get ENA started". If no one was willing to make that type of commitment all of our work over several days would have been without result.

As we milled about the symbolic geodesic globe in the center of the room, David was the first to act and make that commitment. By that act of commitment he created the organization's *sense* of membership. A sense that now literally spans the real globe.

But more importantly, he was early to recognize the importance of this new medium and to lead the way in creating techniques and processes that made it grow. He lead the way at ENA's first conference in Washington DC several years ago with his creative combination of information harvested online linked with what was then new desktop publishing techniques. A peaceful combination of the new electronic world with the old paper one.

TWO CATEGORIES -- CREATIVITY AND BUILDING GLOBAL COMMUNITIES

The awards reflect ENA's statement of purpose:

** The first award recognizes creativity in "electronic
networking in ways that enriched individuals and/or enhanced
organizations".

** The second award recognizes international online efforts
"to build global communities".
