Deb Quoted

“[Judging] is one of the last things I do before winter break, and it’s a nice way to end the calendar year and be thinking about what’s ahead. It’s truly inspiring to be able to see what other people are doing.”

“[Winning] is really validating. It’s like the Academy Award. It’s great to be recognized by people who are in your role, know the work, and know and see it every day. It’s validating and gives you a chance to celebrate yourself. It’s not always a role that there are awards and accolades for all the time.”

“I think it’s great that you have entry-point pricing that’s a pretty low risk for people. And there’s a category for everyone.”
