The Clare Rothmeyer Award<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0was established in honor of one of the most respected professionals in the field of information and referral. Clare B. Rothmeyer worked in the field of Information and Referral for more than 30 years with the Community Council of Greater Dallas. Clare is nationally recognized as a leader, teacher, mentor and innovator in I&R. She played a major role in the development of the 2-1-1 system in Texas and was a founding member of the Texas Alliance of Information and Referral Systems. The Award is given to a person or organization that has been especially supportive of I&R through legislative, financial or collaborative measures.<\/p>\n

The Information & Referral Specialist Award<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0is given to an outstanding individual who exhibits a broad knowledge of resources and sincere empathy with those in need. The Award seeks to recognize that very special person who tirelessly answers the phone and goes the extra mile to help callers.<\/p>\n

The I&R Database Specialist Award<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0is given to acknowledge an exemplary specialist who keeps the databases accurate and compliant with the myriad of style and taxonomy rules required of a good I&R system.<\/p>\n

The Friend of TAIRS Award<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0recognizes an individual or an organization\/company outside the field of information and referral services for outstanding contribution to the field and has had great impact promoting the power of I&R and enhancing the integrity of the profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
