T2 Center Road Scholars and Masters

With COVID-19 travel and gathering restrictions, we have postponed in-person Road Scholar and Road Master Presentations. We are still working to recognize those who have completed the Road Scholar and Road Master requirements.  

To keep the waitlist backlog from growing, we have started contacting local agencies about mailing their awards. LHTAC staff is contacting the agency to indicate their preference for mailing awards or waiting for an in-person presentation (likely in the Summer of 2021). If they prefer their awards mailed a letter is sent to both the employee supervisor and the agency’s elected officials (Mayor or Commissioners).
