The March of Dimes is also seeking nominations for the 2011 and 2012 Agnes Higgins Awards. Established in 1980, the March of Dimes Agnes Higgins Award honors the late Agnes Higgins of the Montreal Diet Dispensary for her innovation and years of service to the cause of improved maternal nutrition. The award is co-sponsored by the Food and Nutrition and Maternal and Child Health sections. Nominations for both years must be postmarked by March 31 to be eligible. Winners receive a $3,000 honorarium and will be honored at a presentation and reception at the APHA Annual Meeting. Details on the awards can be found here. If you have questions, please contact Mary Lavan.
