SITE Member of the Year Award

2023 Recipient for Member of the Year: Victor Canizares

The SITE Member of the Year Award, SITE’s highest honor, is presented to a volunteer who has left an indelible mark on SITE and who has often served in multiple roles within the association.

Victor, this year’s honoree, is the CEO of Spanish Heritage DMC, EUROMIC Spain. He was commended for the incredible work he has done to not only revive the SITE chapter in his region, but for his efforts in extending the chapter’s reach to now cover two distinct countries as SITE Spain & Portugal.
