McHugh-Henderson Award

McHugh-Henderson Award
This award is made annually by the S.S.P.A. in remembrance of both Frank McHugh and Jim Henderson who both did an enormous amount of work in personally promoting the Association and the problems of short-statured people, through the media and through their own involvement with the early management of the Association. Both men were past National Chairpersons.

The Award is made to short-statured people who are considered to have made a significant contribution to the development of themselves as individuals during the year, and the enhancement of their position in the community at large, which bought credit to themselves and to the Association.

Nominations are called for during the year and details of nominations are printed in the S.S.P.A. Journal. Closing date for nominations is 31st July each year.

A shield records the names of winners of the award each year and the winner is also presented with an individual trophy at the S.S.P.A. Dinner Dance which is held during the annual SSPA National Convention. All nominees are given an award in recognition of their endeavours.

A Junior Division Award is made to members under the age of 12 years.
