Call for Awards Nominations

2014 NLA Honors & Awards

To honor the exceptional professionals in our ranks, the NLA has established several types of recognition. We are currently seeking nominations for the following awards, to be presented at the 2014 Annual Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida (May 1-4, 2014):

Fellow of the NLA 

Fellowship in the National Lipid Association recognizes the excellence, innovation, and leadership of health professionals in the NLA with respect to Clinical Lipidology in private practice or academic settings. Fellowship is reserved for NLA members who have made significant regional and/or national contributions to the science and practice of Clinical Lipidology.

NLA Distinguished Achievement Award 

The highest honor conferred by the NLA recognizes a member who has made a major contribution to Clinical Lipidology (research, teaching, publishing, or service), whether as a single accomplishment or through lengthy career work.

NLA Honorary Lifetime Membership Award

Presented to a scientist or clinician who would not normally be a member of the NLA to recognize his or her unusual expertise and contributions to Clinical Lipidology. The NLA national and chapter boards will each be requested to make one nomination per year. In addition, Fellows of the NLA may also submit a nomination for this award, through the NLA Awards committee.

Awards nominations are due by Friday, January 31.
