ACKNOWLEDEMENTS
DAN MORROW, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, 1988 - 2004,
AND CHIEF HISTORIAN EMERITUS

The Chairmen’s Committee proudly thanks Dan Morrow, who will carry the title of Chief Historian Emeritus, in recognition of his many years of dedicated and loyal service to The Computerworld Honors Program.

Dan left The Washington Post to join the program in the mid 1980s at the invitation of co-Founders Patrick J. McGovern, now Chairman Emeritus of the Honors Program Chairmen’s Committee, Roger Kennedy, then Director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, and the late Fritz Landmann, former President and Publisher of Computerworld.

For almost twenty years, Dan has worked with the Foundation and for the members of the Chairmen’s Committee to honor outstanding users of information technology, and to create an archive of primary source materials to document the achievements of those who used the technology and those who created and developed it. This archive now consists of more than 5,000 case studies, symposia, workshops and oral histories.

Dan hold degrees from the University of Virginia where he was an Echols and University Scholar and a member of the Raven Society. He is a fellow of the German Institute for European History and, in addition to his work on the history of information technology, is currently working on projects in 20th century German and 19th century American history.
