Good morning, everyone —
Just a reminder that if you plan to submit a nomination for the Muriel Harris Outstanding Service Award (MHOSA) this year, the deadline is less than two weeks away. We know there are many worthy candidates, but they can’t be considered if they aren’t nominated! Please consider taking a little time to nominate someone you believe deserves this recognition from their peers.
