The Anchorage Chapter was selected as the 2012 recipient of NHRMA’s Randy Lundberg Award. The program submitted was “A Multi-Agency Partnership at Work”. This is a program that Nancy Miller initiated and has been leading for several years. She will accept the award on behalf of the Anchorage chapter at the NHRMA Conference this October.
