The Association of Information
Technology Professionals (AITP)
Celebrating Over 50 Years of Service to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Chapter Receives AITP’s Association Outstanding Chapter Award
The Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP), a worldwide society of information technology professionals, presented the Pittsburgh Chapter with the 2008 Association Outstanding Chapter Award (AOCA), aka the President's Cup. The award was presented by the AITP President during the Awards Gala at the 2010 AITP Member Summit, January 22, 2010 in Chicago to Stan Hoffman, the Pittsburgh Chapter President.
The award recognizes the single AITP chapter that best embodies accomplishment developing their chapter, region, national association, local community and future generations. “On behalf of AITP, I’m pleased to recognize the Pittsburgh Chapter as the recipient of the AOCA award,” said Beth Pirrie, AITP President. “The Pittsburgh Chapter was selected from a group of very strong candidate chapters because it is generally well-balanced and has strength in all outreach areas. Members of this chapter demonstrate high involvement with our Association, show outstanding regional support as well as community involvement and chapter development.” To be eligible for the the President's Cup, a chapter must have first been awarded the Chapter Outstanding Performance Award (COPA) and from all of the COPA chapters in their region have been awarded the Region Outstanding Chapter award (ROPA). Pittsburgh was awarded both of these for 2008. While everyone on the board deserves recognition for their contributions in winning this award, special thanks go to Denise Patrizio for her efforts in tracking and submitting the points necessary for the qualifications. We have renamed the cup "The Stanford Cup" as that is our chapter president's proper first name.

The next time you are in your data center, look around, and imagine for a moment that it is gone. And not just the computers. Imagine that the entire building no longer exists. Next, imagine that your job is to get as much of the work that was being done in the data center going in some fashion, somewhere, as soon as possible. What would you do? We all know – Disasters come in different sizes. IT emergencies can be as simple as a single server failure.
