HLAA National Awards Nominations Deadline

Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) Conventions are a time to honor our organizations and members with well-deserved awards. HLAA affiliates find unique and special ways to serve member needs as they reach out and make an impact. National awards acknowledge these achievements and contributions.

To nominate yourself, a colleague, an employer or your nearby HLAA Chapter, State Office or State Association, read the awards' description and complete a nomination form included in the descriptions document. You do not need to be an HLAA member to nominate a person, company or HLAA affiliate for an award. HLAA does require that individual award recipients be current HLAA national members.

The Awards Committee will examine applications with consideration of several factors such as locality, organizational size, etc. Do not presume your achievement "would not stand a chance." Please add appropriate detail to your application and include a completed cover sheet (next page) for each nomination. Nominations that include information closely matching the award criteria stand the best chance for being selected for the award. The following categories of awards will be presented at HLAA's Convention 2012 Awards program on Sunday morning, June 24.
