Recognized for network-related contributions to California's research and education community for 2012 with the Outstanding Individual Contribution award is Catherine McKenzie. Catherine McKenzie began working at the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) in 1998. As Director of the Technology Unit, she oversaw the Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure Program (TTIP), which distributes technology related funds to the California Community Colleges and oversees and funds several system-wide projects, such as 3C Media Solutions (video streaming and Web services), CCC Confer (e-conferencing), CENIC services (networking and videoconferencing), and the California Virtual Campus (CVC).

In addition to her work at the CCCCO, Catherine has been dedicated to supporting CENIC and CalREN in multiple ways. She chaired the CENIC Conference Program Committee in 2007, and contributed as a member of the Conference Program Committee for several additional years. For many years Catherine was a regular participant in discussions at DC-TAC and CalREN Video Services (CVS) Oversight Committee meetings, and she served on the CENIC Board of Directors from 2004 to 2011. At CENIC's request, Catherine represented California on Internet2's K20 Advisory Council for a number of years.
