The purpose of the Awards Reception Committee is to plan an event at the Annual Conference to recognize the recipients of the NMRT Professional Development Grant, the Shirley Olofson Memorial Award, and the Annual Conference Professional Development Attendance Award (formerly the Marshall Cavendish Award), and to provide an opportunity for NMRT members to network and socialize.
