Hall of Fame/Honors and Awards Updates:
Following a review process of the awards given by the NWATA, after comparison to awards given by the NATA and several of the other districts, and after discussion with the executive council, the Honors and Awards committee in conjunction with the executive council, will now be presenting the following awards:
NWATA Outstanding Service Award: This award recognizes those athletic trainers whose outstanding contributions and dedicated service have furthered the advancement of the NWATA and the athletic training profession.
NWATA New Horizon Award: This award recognizes those athletic trainers who are relatively new to the profession and are making a significant contribution at the district level. The intent is to recognize members who are new to the profession (having been ATCs fewer than 15 years) but are making a very positive impact on the profession while still fairly early in their athletic training careers.
NWATA District Director’s Award: This award recognizes those individuals and/or organizations who deserve recognition for their contributions to the field of athletic training, and who may not be eligible for other awards or may warrant additional recognition for their contribution to District X. The District Director’s Award is a discretionary award and will be given as he or she feels is appropriate.
The members of District X have done or are doing amazing things and deserve the recognition of their peers. Please consider nominating a peer for the Outstanding Service Award, the New Horizon Award or the Hall of Fame.
To submit a nomination, please fill out the appropriate form(s) and submit them by December 1st to the committee chair, Greg Hill ghill@linfield.edu
