“This year’s prestigious award was to have been presented in May this year at our 75th anniversary celebration in Washington D.C., which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ryan Streblow, NTTC executive vice-president. “I realize that this difficult decision was a disappointment for the entire association, particularly the fine individuals in our finalist group.”
