WISPA held its biannual reception at ISPCON last night. Attendance was
fabulous with a crowd that reached overcapacity for the room we had
reserved. We want to thank all members, potential members and vendors who
came to the reception and shared this time with us. The highlight of the
evening was the announcement of the WISPA Outstanding WISP Operator of the
Year Award. President Matt Larsen made this presentation following an
outstanding speech about WISPA, our accomplishments and our goals for the
future. This year’s winner was Travis Johnson of IDA.Net. Travis received
a very nice plaque for his accomplishments of serving around 4000 clients in
the rough terrain of Idaho. Our sincere congratulations go out to Travis,
his staff and his family. Great Job!
We also want to thank Imagestream and Powercode for sponsoring the
reception. Without vendor support, many events such as this would not be
possible. Special thanks to JC Utter and John Wright for stepping up to the
plate this year.
We also held a raffle at the end of the reception. Doorprizes were donated
by many vendors and the winners are listed below. Thanks to all the vendors
who supported this raffle.
