The Winners Revealed
You'll read more
about their work
in the pages ahead.
Y
ou've seen the moment at the Oscars, or
Grammys, or Emmys, or whatever
awards show piques your interest. e
stars are on stage, the envelope is opened and
the winner's name is announced, aer a brief
pause for dramatic effect. It's a formula that
works, and it's become time-honored.
And it certainly works beyond the
entertainment realm as well. It works, in fact,
for recognizing the outstanding effort of any
professional.
at most certainly includes life sciences
training and education professionals.
Flashback now a few weeks, to Wednesday,
June 3, at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge. A
large number of LTEN members are sitting in
the ballroom, staring at a glittering table with a
display of crystal award trophies for the first
annual LTEN Excellence Awards. I'm standing
on stage to greet winners, along with board
member Chris Goins, who served as the master
of ceremonies for the awards.
e moment arrives and one-by-one the
names of winners are announced. ey take the
stage, take their trophies, take a bow. e
audience applauds accordingly, celebrating the
first winners of the only awards program aimed
at life sciences training and education.
Maybe you had to be there to really feel the
sense of excitement and support as the winners
were spotlighted, but you certainly can still
learn from these top performers honored with
the 2015 awards. In this special digital issue of
Focus magazine, we're honored to spotlight the
winners of the LTEN Excellence Awards, and
also recognize the professionals who built the
awards program to honor and support the work
you do daily.
Does life sciences need the awards and
accolades? Not necessarily, since everyone's first
calling in this industry is to help, not to be
rewarded. Help the patients, of course, and help
the healthcare providers. We also help our
companies, help our learners and help our
colleagues to be the best and brightest. Awards
may be like dessert - nice but not truly needed
- but they serve the purpose of singing the
song of the unpraised.
is year's award winners were literally all
over the professional map, both on the industry
and supplier partner side. Companies honored
at the award ceremony included:
