Nalge Nunc Training Fund Awards

In 1987, Nalge Company established a fund to assist NAOSMM members to attend the Annual Conference and Trade Show. The company has since changed its name to Nalge Nunc International yet the tradition of assisting members, especially first-time attendees, has not changed. Many thanks to Nalge Nunc International for its generosity. Sandra Payne, Awards Committee Chair, far left standing next to Peter Charleton of Nalge Nunc International presented the awards.
