Michael Beall Threadgill Leadership & Service Award

Initially designated the Outstanding Leadership and Service to NHCA award, it was renamed in 1990 in memory of Michael Beall Threadgill.  Michael was an occupational audiologist passionate about his work and the mission of NHCA.  He served as Program Chair for several years. Through his efforts, NHCA benefited from increased awareness of the association and critical growth in membership.  His death in a private airplane crash, in the prime of his life and career, was a loss to NHCA and to the many who had come to admire him for his dedication.  This award, first presented in 1986 to Alan Feldman, was established to recognize outstanding leadership and service to NHCA over a sustained period of time. It may be conferred annually if a suitable candidate is recommended by the Nominations Task Force and approved by the Executive Council.
