This year, ELUNA awarded Natalie Polson the Sherrie Kristin Memorial Scholarship. The award provides recipients with complimentary registration and accommodation at the annual conference. It is always a competitive award, with many nominations submitted each year.
The ELUNA Steering Committee honors the memory and the many contributions of the late Sherrie Kristin with an annual ELUNA conference scholarship in her name. Sherrie contributed decades of service to the EndUser and ELUNA user groups, serving as a Regional User Group leader, a Product Working Group Chair, and a Steering Committee member. Of particular note was her dedicated work to ensure the success of ELUNA events. Sherrie contributed untold hours and energy toward planning and organizational tasks because she believed the knowledge gained and peer networks built through the EndUser and ELUNA communities directly contributed to individual and institutional success.
Congratulations Natalie! She will receive a certificate during the Wednesday morning opening ceremonies at ELUNA 2026, April 29, 2026, Los Angeles, CA. Come join us!
