II. AAFP Awards

Numerous candidates were put forth to be considered for the AAFP Lifetime Achievement Award. The Chair asked that a quick ballot be sent out to all members for a vote. Each candidate's CV will be provided for the vote.

Public Health – the committee nominates Dr. Beverley Ann Townsend for the Public Health Award due to her continued service with the Department of Public Health.

Two candidates were nominated for the Humanitarian Award. The staff will retrieve their CVs and add them to the ballot for review.
