The rural health association is seeking nominations for this year's award. To nominate someone, complete this form. Theis year's deadline for nominations is Thursday, Aug. 31.

Based on the responses and the criteria of the candidates received, the Dan Martin Award Committee makes recommendations to the KRHA Executive Committee, which will select the 2023 honoree. The award will be presented at the KRHA Annual Conference on Nov. 16-17 in Bowling Green.
