Additionally, I would like to enlist your help with the Chadwick Medal nominations.

THE 2017 HENRY D. CHADWICK MEDAL

Friday, January 27, 2017 - is the deadline for Chadwick Medal nominations. We would like to encourage MPS committee members to nominate a deserving colleague for this prestigious medal. The Henry D.Chadwick Medal is the highest honor awarded by MPS for 'meritorious contributions in the study and treatment of tuberculosis and other thoracic diseases'. Making a nomination is easy - please write a short supporting letter or email, and arrange for someone else to write a seconding letter/email. These should then be sent to me at mcaul@lungne.org along with the nominee's CV. More information can be found on the Annual Meeting page at MassPulmonary.org. Please spread the word and let others within your organizations know about this opportunity to honor a colleague. I have attached the past Chadwick nominees to this email.

Thank you very much for your help in getting this important information out as widely as possible! You can just copy and paste the info between the double lines.

Kind regards,
Michelle
