The Joseph and Ann Marie Horvat Distinguished Service Award
2018 Recipient: Tato Sokhadze
About the Award: The Joseph and Ann Marie Horvat Distinguished Service Award is established to recognize members who have served the Society faithfully and with exemplary effort. Nova Tech EEG, Inc with approval of the ISNR Board endowed an award, to be presented annually, to a person who has made an outstanding service contribution to achieving the mission of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) through volunteerism. Across the years many individuals who have represented the organization have instilled in many members and conference attendees a great loyalty to our field and to the organization. Although there were many, two of the most noticeable individuals were Joe and Ann Marie Horvat. With the recent passing of Joe who was a friend and colleague we wanted to honor his memory and the significant amount of time he dedicated to the organization through various board and committee positions. In similar fashion, Ann Marie volunteered a great deal of time for many years with no compensation to support ISNR. Even now, despite compensation, her value is not measurable in dollars. We wish to recognize these individuals’ contributions over the years by naming the Distinguished Service Award in their name. Additionally, by recognizing volunteerism and dedication to ISNR we hope to increase the participation by the general membership. This award recognizes service in the areas of board affairs, society membership, committee work, publications or conference presentations, general volunteerism to the society and leadership that has a major impact on the ISNR society and in support of its mission. Recipients receive an engraved plaque and a $500 donation will be made in their name to the ISNR fund of their choosing (e.g. research, student, general, special, etc).
