Congratulations to Cindy Jacisin, the past Executive VP for PCA, for receiving the coveted “Zone Representative Award” at the 2023 Porsche Parade 2023 in Palm Springs. It is one of the most prestigious awards given by the PCA, and it is not awarded every year because no one individual has demonstrated and been recognized for their leadership and performance.

The 14 Zone Representatives (Zone Reps) meet each year before the upcoming Parade to determine if anyone is eligible for this reward. Typically, there are several candidates presented by the various Zone Reps. It then takes several hours of discussion and debate to determine the person to receive the award.

This year was different. Cindy’s name was the one and only candidate presented, and all the Zone Reps immediately agreed. The meeting lasted roughly 3 minutes. It was the easiest selection ever made. The award was kept a secret from her until the Tuesday night Concours Banquet.

It was then announced at the Concours Banquet. It was a big surprise to her and richly deserved for her leadership and dedication to PCA both nationally and in The Chicago Region over the past 12 years. She was especially recognized for providing direction and information to guide PCA throughout the difficult and challenging COVID years.

Thank you, Cindy, for all your contributions to both PCA National and PCA Chicago Region.
