Announcing our 2025 Award Winners!

During our annual conference, we come together to learn, to make decisions, and to celebrate the community of ATI. Part of the celebration includes recognition of exceptional service to ATI as an organization.

This includes two types of awards:

  • Every few years ATI has a Cauliflower Award. This award honors ATI members for committing to an idea, process or project for a significant period of time; tending to it and caring for it. It is based on a quote from A. R. Alexander: “Be patient; stick to principle; and it will all open up like a great cauliflower.” 
  • The Distinguished Service Award recognizes exceptional accomplishments and service provided to ATI during the past year. 
  • In 2024 & 2025 the board decided to provide Letters of Special Recognition for work done by committees and working groups.
