Southgate, Michigan, July 2008— Beltone proudly presented its prestigious President's Cup Award to Daniel and Jean Fletcher at its 2008 National Meeting held in Monterey, California. Since 1958, Beltone's highest honor, The President's Cup, is awarded annually to hearing care practitioners who demonstrate exceptional patient care, community involvement and professional business practices.
"This award recognizes those practitioners whose professionalism and care go well beyond their office and into the community. The Fletchers' leadership and dedication over the past 20 years is the ultimate example of this," says Todd Murray, President, Beltone. "They continue to find unique ways to give back to their community."
Daniel and Jean Fletcher have worked with Beltone for 20 year and became full-time business owners in 2001. They now have five full-time offices, two part-time offices and service over 20 senior homes. The Fletchers belong to the International Hearing Society, as well as Michigan and Ohio Hearing Societies. Daniel is Board Certified in Hearing Instrument Sciences and they are members of the Downriver Michigan, Toledo, Findlay and Lima Chambers of Commerce.

"We're honored to receive the President's Cup Award and glad to know that Beltone recognizes the value we place in our customers and the integrity of our practice," said Mr. Fletcher. "We would like to thank everyone in our communities for 20 years of strong support."
In addition to the award presented to Daniel and Jean Fletcher, Beltone presented performance awards to other top practitioners from its offices internationally, Canada and throughout the U.S.
