This year's winner hails from Ownesboro, Kentucky. Her director submitted her name and accomplishments, Mr. Harvey Sopher.

Our 1998 MISAPA award goes to Martha (Susie) L. Masters.  Ms. Masters, who prefers Susie, has held many positions with the Information Services department in Owensboro.  She started as data entry operator and made the progression to programmer, programmer/analyst, senior programmer/analyst to her current position of manager of application programming.

Through 16 years, Susie continued to not only progress through different IS jobs but she also showed great resolve in completing a bachelor's degree in business and an associates degree in computer science by going through Brecia College's weekend program.

Susie's director puts it best, "I have been associated with Susie Masters since August 1980.  I am impressed with her abilities.  Through dedication and commitment, her professional development continues to advance."   "Susie takes an analytical approach to solving problems.  She exhibits the vision to look at the individual tasks in the context of the big picture and she sees problems to be solved but as challenges and opportunities to utilize her skills and abilities."

Congratulations, Susie Masters, on being this year's MISAPA.  All of you attending this year's conference in Ft. Lauderdale will get a chance to congratulate Susie in person.  She will receive an all expense paid trip to the conference and will receive her award during the conference proceedings.
