(Partial
list of) NHOM Volunteers at d2k.1 Global Finals Destination
Imagination has accepted numerous NHOM volunteers to ensure smooth
sailing at Global Finals. |
| Jill Schoonmaker, NHOM's association director, as usual, is wearing many hats here at Global Finals. As a member of the DI Board of Trustees she is very busy with the behind the scenes action at d2k.1. Wednesday night Jill was on stage extending the official welcome to all the teams as emcee of the Opening Ceremonies. Jill also spent time earlier in the week as a chef at the first ever D2Kafe - sharing her expertise with RD's from around the globe in training sessions. Even with all her various responsibilities Jill still finds time to support the NH teams - She can be found cheering wildly in the audience of many of their performances. |  |

The Amazing Score Room Team You can be sure that the scores at Global Finals are being expertly handled - just take a look at some of the staff.The score room is once again being run by the DInamic Duo of Steve Greenwood and Al Simons. Together they created the scoring program for DI and tested it out at the tournaments in NH - now they bring it to the world. These two also bring their many years of NHOM experience to Globals as workshop presenters. Tuesday morning they taught Regional Directors from around the globe how to run a smooth, successful score room and spent some time answering the most perplexing scoring questions. Also hidden away in the secret location known as the scoring room (and we're not even sure they've found it yet,) are Jim and Maureen Heedles. Veterans of NH score rooms, Jim and Mo are assisting with the accurate inputting of the scores here at Global Finals. This is Mo's first trip to Global Finals and she has already started an impressive pin collection. Together with five other volunteers, these 4 NH representatives make up the score room staff. |

Elaine Corrigan has once again made the journey to Global Finals to support the NH teams. Elaine has many years of experience as a Regional Director and is delighted to be here celebrating creativity with the NH teams. As part of the busy writing staff for the NHOM webpage Elaine will need her rollerskates to keep up with the 31 teams from NH that are performing. |

Richard Bishop is a Triplicity appraiser for the middle level this year at d2K.1 in Knoxville, TN. Rich's entire family has been involved in creative problem solving since 1991. Rich caught the fever and became a judge in 1992, the year after his son Matthew participated in a World Final competition, also at UT. Rich said that this event and this location brings back some pretty good memories. His daughter, Rachel, was a participant for many years, but likely most will remember her, dressed in her royal garb, selling raffle tickets at NH-DI competitions. And yes, Rich's better half, Jan is the lady that was raising donations through candy sales. Rich joined the NH board of directors last year and currently serves as the State Challenge Master for Triplicity. Thanks you Rich for all your efforts and support. |

Bob Igou has been named an honorary NH'ite. Despite his residence just south of the border, Bob has been involved in the NH program for numerous years - before we kept records. Bob is not only an appraiser, but a Challenge Master in NH and of course volunteers as an appraiser in MA as well. Bob's roots in NH-DI date back to his daughter who participated in the program while she was a student at Bishop Guertin. Bob really stepped up this year to serve as the International Challenge Master for Triplicity. A big, big thank you goes out to Bob. |
