[CITASA] CRCP, CRAC, CROF

[Elizabeth Pullen]

I appreciate your explanation the basis of these awards.
 
I see the value in acknowledging ground-breaking work or overall contributions to the field, but I would just like to discourage phrases like "agent of change" (or, God forbid, "thought leader") in the descriptions as vague & lofty attributions like these are currently much ridiculed in online social communities. 
 
Likewise the descriptive titles technologist, expert, guru, evangelist. maven, strategist, futurist, influencer, or visionary should be avoided, if at all possible. There must be more concrete ways of describing the value of someone's work and promotion of the discipline.
