Awards

MACHA provides opportunities for members to recognize their colleagues for their contributions. Please consider nominating a deserving individual for the John A. Hargleroad Award or the Janet Diggs Award to be presented at the 2012 MACHA Annual Meeting.  The MACHA New Professional Award is presented at the 2012 ACHA Annual Meeting Awards and Fellows Celebration on Wednesday, May 30, in Chicago. To nominate a colleague for one of the awards, send a letter of nomination and at least two letters of support to the nominations chair (immediate past president). One letter should be from the nominee’s supervisor or director. Letters should be sent to Nancy Codori (ncodori1@jhmi.edu).

The John A. Hargleroad Award is presented for service to MACHA. John A. Hargleroad II, M.D., began the Mid-Atlantic College Health Association as we know it today. He served as MACHA’s president in 1977 and is the individual responsible for keeping MACHA alive at a time when we had little or no membership. Dr. Hargleroad was the first recipient of the award established in his name in 1985, in recognition for outstanding service to MACHA and its members.

The Janet Diggs Award is presented for service to a college or university. Janet Diggs was known by her colleagues at Howard as an outstanding leader and mentor, whose efforts were directed toward the encouragement and achievement of college health values and goals. This award is given to recognize outstanding performance by members of a campus community who share Janet’s values.

The Affiliate New Professionals Award is presented to a MACHA Member at the ACHA Annual Meeting. The award is for a member who has been in the field of college health for less than five years and who has made significant impact to his/her institution and/or affiliate. The recipient can be a clinician, administrator, health educator, or mental health professional.  To nominate a colleague for the New Professionals Award, send a letter of nomination and at least one letter of support (no more than 5)  to the nominations chair (immediate past president). One letter should be from the nominee’s supervisor or director. Letters should be sent to Nancy Codori (ncodori1@jhmi.edu).
