The following advocates were honored for their dedication and contributions to the association and its advocacy mission: Michelle Ballasiotes of Evans, GA (Youth Advocate of the Year); Frank Amend of Rocky Mount, NC (Survivor Advocate of the Year); Deborah Minor of Jackson, MS (Volunteer Advocate of the Year); and Alan Daugherty M.D. of Lexington, KY (Science Advocate of the Year).
