The APPCN Lisa D. Stanford Excellence in Training Award

This award honors a neuropsychologist who embodies the spirit of excellence in mentorship and advocacy to which Dr. Stanford dedicated her career. Honorees demonstrate their commitment to expanding access to care and training through teaching, supervision, community outreach, and advocacy activities above and beyond the usual work of a neuropsychologist. Through these endeavors, this individual has a positive impact on trainees, colleagues, psychometrists, allied professionals, and the patients themselves.

An honorary plaque will be presented at the APPCN General Membership Meeting at the INS conference.
