BTW, I think it says something that most people here didn't know about
that page. IMO we should put a more prominent link to it on the front
page. One possibility (as much as I hate them) would be to use a
drop-down menu below each catagory; at least that way if you mouse-over
'about' you'd see awards & certifications. Though personally I think it
would be good to put a direct link on the front page somewhere.
