TAPC selects this year's winner of the prestigious Locke-Matthiessen award

Every year the TAPC Locke-Matthiessen award recognizes a TAPC member that has, throughout their career, conducted themself in a way that exemplifies the best qualities of professionalism and exceptional service. The recipient is selected because they have given of themselves unselfishly without seeking recognition or personal gain. The award represents the highest standard of service to our industry. It is the most prestigious award the association presents and the winners are carefully selected by a panel of previous award winners. The winner of the Locke-Matthiessen award is recognized on the last day of the TAPC Conference (Saturday) at the luncheon. Beginning this year, the TAPC will notify the winner ahead of time and will then announce to the membership. This allows the recipient's family and friends to be at the celebration and properly recognize their accomplishments and successes.

The TAPC is proud to announce that this year's winner of the Locke-Matthiessen award is Jim Hezel, CPC. Jim has served in just about every capacity on the TAPC board of directors, including President in 2005-2006. His most important accomplishments include leading the association during a change in Executive Directors, directing the activities that led to the most successful conference in all the years leading up to 2006, and strong contributions in each position he held on the board over the course of many years.

Jim joins the ranks of elite professionals, each of whom have earned the award through their actions and contributions to the association. You'll see Jim at this year's banquet at the Saturday lunch and we'll be able to celebrate this exciting accomplishment then. In the meantime, please join us in congratulating Jim Hezel, this year's Locke-Matthiessen award winner!
