Call for 2012 Dr. Frederick B Glaser Award Nominations

The Governor’s Institute is requesting nominations for the Third Annual Frederick B. Glaser Award: This award was developed to honor one of the pioneers of Addiction Medicine in North Carolina.  The award will be given at the Addiction Medicine 2012 Conference in Asheville, NC on March 30 & 31.

Criteria for the Award
The individual or individuals nominated should have demonstrated significant contributions to the citizens of NC in the field of alcohol or other substance abuse, in one or more of the following areas:

(1) providing treatment for those suffering from addictive disorders, (2) education:  particularly related to training of medical or other health care professionals), (3) research, or (4) leadership in the political arena to increase funding or access to care

Contributions can be in one or more of these areas but should preferably have impact beyond the personal or local realm.  The person’s activities should have demonstrated ongoing commitment and persistence of effort over a significant period of time.  The extension of the impact of these activities beyond NC to the national level would be of significance but not critical or necessary.
