Every year at the IAHPERD convention professionals are honored for the contributions that have been made to their profession and the Iowans they teach and come in contact with. We have a membership filled with talented individuals that have not been acknowledged with an award. I know from experience that being an award winner changes your professional life in a very positive way. It gave me greater credibility among my peers and from administrators. It opened new doors to professional opportunities. I felt validated for all that I had already done and believed in.
