Paul Barbuzza

2010 EMRA Worker of the Year

Our dedicated Webmaster and Statistician for over 15 years, Paul has been a key player in EMRA for these past two decades. Through rain and snow, good times and tough times, Paul was always there to make sure that Results were online, newsletters went out, and that the EMRA Website had the latest and greatest for our members.

Thank you Paul, for your unyielding dedication to your work.

Barbara Kress

You may recognize Barbara as the friendly face from the Merchandise desk at all of our events. But what you might not know is how essential she has been to the running of many of our events. A detail-oriented Jill-of-All-Trades, Barbara would be ready to help wherever she was needed, from Registration to Timing and Scoring.

Thank you Barbara, for being there for all those times we needed you most. We will miss seeing your smile at Registration.

Bob Kress

A strong yet soft-spoken leader, Bob has been a driving force in EMRA for many, many years. When economic recession and turmoil threatened the club, it was Bob who took the helm and helped guide EMRA towards peace and stability. When he wasn't keeping us out of trouble, Bob was there to help keep us going - whether at a flag station, as Chief Registrar, or as Chief of Timing and Scoring.

Thank you Bob, for your extraordinary leadership. We hope to see you back at the track.

Julie Panczyszyn

Our stalwart Time Trial Co-Chair for the past six years, Julie went to incredible lengths for us EMRA Time Trialers. Julie dedicated tons of time from her busy schedule toward making the Time Trial Program everything it could be. On numerous occasions, she even drove 250 miles each way just to make sure that time trial drivers were represented at EMRA Board Meetings.

Thank you Julie, for being such a devoted champion for us time trialers. We will do our best to keep the TT program as great as you've made it.

Mike Panczysyn

We could always count on Mike, our straight-talking, no-nonsense Time Trial Co-Chair, for an excellent Time Trial weekend. Working multiple positions at every event, Mike took a hands-on approach to ensure that everything ran like clockwork. If any issues came up with the schedule, safety, or if people weren't having fun, Mike was always there to make things right.

Thank you Mike, for showing us how it's done. We've taken notes - and will try not to let you down.

 

Thank You All for Your Dedication and Service!
