ASHA Awards Ceremony

Sponsored by PRC-Saltillo [Booth 729]

Friday, November 18
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., CT
Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

The Awards Ceremony celebrates high achievements and excellence in the professions. Awards presented this evening include the Honors of the Association—ASHA's most prestigious award, which recognizes lifetime achievement—and ASHA Fellows, whose recipients' contributions are the cornerstones of the communication sciences and disorders (CSD) professions. ASHA will present additional awards to honor other members who have also contributed to the professions and to ASHA.

The Annie Glenn Award is also given each year at the Awards Ceremony. Annie Glenn, wife of Senator John Glenn, is known nationwide for her advocacy for those with communication disorders. "The Annie" recognizes an individual who demonstrates Mrs. Glenn's spirit by making a positive impact on those with communication disorders. This beloved award is a perpetual highlight of the ASHA Convention.

We are honored to present the 2022 Annie Glenn Award to Steve Gleason and his wife, Michel. Steve Gleason played football with the New Orleans Saints from 2000 to 2008 and is celebrated for his rallying role in the Saints’ first game after Hurricane Katrina. He was later diagnosed with ALS in 2011. After his diagnosis, Steve was determined to help others, so he and Michel created Team Gleason Foundation, their organization dedicated to providing equipment, technology, services, care, and life-changing adventures for people living with ALS. When Steve received his ALS diagnosis, he famously said there will be “No White Flags,” which became Team Gleason’s mantra. Together, Steve and Michel grew Team Gleason into a leading force for promoting assistive technology innovation and delivering assistive technology and other services to thousands of people.

ASHA thanks its sponsors. Sponsors are not responsible for the content of this conference, nor does ASHA endorse their products or services.
