Join us for this important event honoring the highest achievement
and excellence in our professions. The evening begins with
the presentation of the Honors of the Association, ASHA's
most prestigious award that highlights the lifetime achievements
of ASHA members. The ASHA Fellows, whose contributions form
the cornerstones of the professions, are also presented.
Additional awards will include the ASHA Distinguished Service
Award, Outstanding Service Award, Dorothy Dreyer Award for
Volunteerism, Special Contributions in Multicultural Affairs,
ASHA Editors' Awards, and the NSSLHA Honors.
The Annie Glenn award will be presented for the second year.
Annie Glenn, wife of Senator John Glenn, is known nationwide
as a tireless advocate for those with communication disorders.
The "Annie," given in her name, is presented to
a person who best exemplifies Mrs. Glenn's own invincible
spirit.
We are pleased to present
the 2004 "Annie" to
award-winning actress, Jane Seymour. Best known for her role
as Dr. Michaela Quinn on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," she
not only has a successful professional career, but is also
a very involved mother of six children, and has been active
in philanthropic endeavors in the U.S. and abroad for over
20 years. Seymour is a dedicated activist for a number of
charities, seeking to improve children's lives around the
world including Childhelp USA, UNICEF, City Hearts, and the
Make-A-Wish Foundation, and was recently named to the Celebrity
Cabinet of the American Red Cross. In addition, Seymour is
an established author, who has published both on her own,
as well as with her husband, and has written a series of
successful children's books. Recently, Ms. Seymour, along
with her 6-year old twins, has been featured in public service
advertisements on literacy on behalf of the Association of
American Publishers.
