As MACUHO has evolved, it has become apparent that the leaders in our field who live and work within our region, as well as promising new professionals, need to have their accomplishments recognized. As a result, awards have been developed to honor members on an annual basis. Honorees are nominated by their peers, selected by the Executive Officers, and presented to the Association at the Annual Conference each Fall.
