Also at our conference we announced that Graine Milner has won the Betty Moys Award for the best newly Accredited Indexer qualifying in 2020. Anna Lord is Highly Commended. Graine qualified in the fastest time in recent years and both of them achieved high marks on the Society’s Training Course.
In addition we are pleased to announce that a Society of Indexers member has won the Purple Pen Award for New Indexers.
