NYSSA relies on those members who dedicate great amounts of their time to create many of the programs that you attend. To honor these individuals, NYSSA presents them with Volunteer of the Year awards at our Annual Dinner. The Volunteers of the Year are selected based on their level of service and commitment to NYSSA’s mission. It is always a difficult task to select our honorees but we believe that these four individuals especially deserve recognition.

	John Apruzzese – for his contribution as a panel member and continuing key supporter of the Investment Research Challenge
	Michael Clarfeld – for continued success with the Wall Street Forum, an extremely visible and highly regarded conference
	Richard Lipstein – in recognition of his revitalization of the Career Development committee and his work on a variety of programs, including the monthly Career Chats, Author Series, and others
	Suzana Zayed – a new volunteer, Zayed has coordinated the CFA study groups, an essential part of CFA exam preparation that is greatly appreciated by the candidates

We congratulate and thank our 2008 Volunteers of the Year for their dedication in helping promote NYSSA's mission of upholding professional and ethical standards in the industry.
