 Awards
Each year, STAIF hosts a banquet at which—in addition to a keynote speech —the four awards listed below are normally presented. Though all awards may be given annually, individual award committees have the option of not presenting an award during any given year. STAIF-2007's new awards banquet will be held Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at the Hotel Albuquerque in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
