The NARRTC Awards Committee seeks nominations for awards in several categories. NARRTC Awards are a key way that the organization recognizes exceptional support and service. Awards will be presented during the annual conference. We will post an announcement when nominations are open on the Annual Meeting page and an email message with instructions, etc. is distributed through the NARRTC list serv. We hope you will consider nominating a colleague. Questions regarding the NARRTC awards process can be directed to the Awards Committee Chairperson.
