Announcing the 2016 Tino Fulimeni Memorial Scholarship winners

One of the many highlights of the 2016 ICD National Conference -- and always one of the highlights of our year -- was the drawing at random of the 10 winners of the Tino Fulimeni Memorial Scholarship.

Once we returned from Mobile, we began the process of contacting the winners and verifying that they met all the qualifying standards. Well, the hay is in the barn, as they say.
