Ed Kaps |
Ed Kaps was one of the organizing and founding Board Members, and remains Director Emeritus of Us TOO International. Ed traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally establishing the first chapters for Us TOO International. Ed approached the Us TOO Board with the concept of this award, and donated the plaque which will be housed in the Us TOO home office. Last year we were fortunate to have Ed present some of the awardees their awards in person at the Us TOO University in Phoenix, Arizona.
