To all who knew her, Tamara embodied enthusiasm, spirit and an incredible force in building relationships and contributing to our industry. The Tamara Nored Fund will award a scholarship to the International Conference to an individual in a chapter who has done the greatest job of contributing to a chapter for a given year. SITE is currently establishing this endowment fund and all members who wish to make a contribution can make donations to SITE with “The Tamara Nored Fund” in the memo line.
