'Sisu' Is a concept that describes our ever-growing community's spirit, meaning extraordinary determination in the face of adversity and courage in situations where a positive outcome seems unlikely. In other words, it is deciding on a course of action, and adhering to it, even if failures ensue - it is determination to succeed.
Sisu is proud to honor former board member, Nancy Copper, and her excellent example of sisu through her cancer trial by naming the award, "The Nancy Copper Sisu Spark Award".
