Awards

The Cultures of Gender and Age (COGA) MIG Outstanding Achievement Award annually recognizes COGA MIG members within each of our three subgroups (Thirty and Under, Men and Fifty Plus).  The recipients of this award have within the past year made an outstanding contribution through an endeavor or activity in which the profession itself, public, or allied health professions were impacted.  Each subgroup award recipient will receive an engraved gift, an official congratulatory letter from the COGA MIG Chair, complimentary COGA membership for the following year, recognition at the COGA FNCE® reception, and a feature in the COGA newsletter, website, and social media platforms.
