Along with the annual business meeting and continuing education event, we often have an awards banquet to recognize excellence and celebrate our colleagueship.  Among the awards are the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Achievement of a Lifetime Award, the Cultural Humanitarian Award, the Friend of Psychology Award, and recognition of service to the Association.
