Bonfield
Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
from Health and Sciences Communications Association
Washington,
DC - July 2006: Arlyn Bonfield, of Biomedical Media, was honored
with the Golden Raster, lifetime achievement award at the
47th International Conference on Health and Science Communication
in Washington, DC. The Golden Raster Award is the most prestigious
honor given by the Health and Science Communications Association
(HeSCA).
As
a "raster" provides stability and form to the electronic
image so the "Golden Raster" recognizes those individuals
who have provided stability and inspiration to the HeSCA organization
through imaginative leadership and unswerving service. In
addition, the award is intended to recognize contributions
which such individuals have made as leaders and innovators
in the field of health science education and instructional
technology. Therefore the Golden Raster Award represents the
culmination of distinguished service and distinguished achievement.
The Council on Medical Television (the organization from which
HeSCA evolved) established the Golden Raster award in 1967.
This is only the 18th time the award has been given since
it was established nearly 40 years ago.
Bonfield,
founder and president of Biomedical Media said, “The
truth is I have received so much more from HeSCA than I could
ever give. But there’s nothing like having your work
recognized by your peers and I am truly grateful for this
recognition.”
