Certificates of Merit

The National Association of Sanitarians, in 1965, felt the need for closer relation­ ships with affiliates and wanted to recognize individuals who were giving outstanding service to the profession at the state level. The Certificate of Merit was the means chosen to do this. Each affiliate was allowed to name two outstanding professionals to receive the Certificate of Merit at the NAS Annual Meeting. Today, each affiliate may name one outstanding professional to receive the Certificate of Merit, and they are encouraged to do so in order to call national attention to people who are active at the state level. Through the years, many outstanding persons have been recognized in this way; however, records are not complete, so rather than err by omission, the Archives Com­ mittee has chosen not to list recipients of this award. Anyone who has received this honor is asked to send their name, current address, and year the award was received to NEHA for future archives activity.

Food Industry Sanitarian Award

In 1979, for the first time, NEHA's Food Protection Section gave an award - The Food Industry Sanitarian Award - to one of its members who was employed by industry in a food protection capacity. The award, which is a beautiful and appropriately inscribed plaque, is sponsored by several industrial firms annually and recognizes the recipient for outstanding contribution to the field of food protection and sanitation. It is presented at the annual NEHA awards luncheon. The recipients of this award have been:
