Chapter 6 AWARDS PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION BY PEERS
Recognition by peers for meritorious service or outstanding contributions is a highlight in any professional career. The National Association of Sanitarians/National Environ mental Health Association has long paid tribute to individuals who have attained high standing in employment or organization activities. It is unfortunate that many have undoubtedly gone unrecognized for their devotion and dedication to the profession and the association. Special efforts have been made periodically to initiate awards to recognize persons who have been outstanding at the national level. The earliest awards bestowed by the Association were Honorary Memberships, the only awards between 1937 and 1956 - nearly 20 years! Persons who earned this distinguished status were: 1940's - Dr. Karl F. Meyer, Hooper Foundation, University of California Dr. L.L. Lamsden, U.S. Public Health Service Dr. Arthur L.
