The 2001-2002 Board initiated a new award for those backstage/construction/running crew people who provide the essential labor and ability to bring a set into being. Karan Spencer presented Gordon Dittemore with the first award, which will subsequently be known as the Gordon Dittemore "piece of cake" award.
