We are thrilled to announce the conclusion of our first annual Cyber Safe Contest! The awards were presented two weeks ago to the high school winners, and we were delighted to meet the talented participants of the contest. The students' incredible talent was impressive, especially considering they are teenagers! Touring the schools was also a great experience, and it's evident that Region 10 schools value and support their students.
Special Thanks
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported this idea from the beginning. Special thanks to:
- David Mendez and Rachel Frost of Region 10: For creating and managing the website and communications for this contest.
- Katie Goins and Lisa Redwine of FBI Dallas: For being the best creative support team.
- Jean Dean of DFW Crime Stoppers: For procuring the award money.
- Craig Buress of FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association: For connecting us with Dallas Mavs VP Rolando Blackman for the announcement video.
Thank you to those who saw this vision from the beginning and stuck through the end: Gina Moore, David Cuthbertson, and SSA Grant Permenter.
