HWB's Jean Hoagland Receives Prestigious Award
April 1, 2017
National Center for Homeopathy's Board President, Edward Conway, presented this year's Julian Winston NCH Service Award to Jean Hoagland, HWB Director Emerita. HWB's Executive Director, Holly Manoogian, accepted the award for Jean.
In his remarks, Mr. Conway said, "Jean Hoagland served on the NCH board for more years than any of us can remember - 12 of them as treasurer and 4 as President. She is a lifetime member and supporter of NCH, and a frequent contributor to Homeopathy Today. Jean was also instrumental in forming NCH affiliated Study Groups including her own which she led for more than 20 years. That study group is still active today in Mt. Dora Florida.
"One of Jean's great accomplishments while working with NCH, she helped organize and guide Homeopaths without Borders and encouraged a long-standing partnership and relationship between these two organizations.
"Jean demonstrated a life-long love of and use of homeopathy for herself and her family. She promoted the use of homeopathy by those with whom she came in contact. The huge amount of volunteer time given by Jean was served in a number of important organizations.
When I first joined the board, Jean was serving as Treasure. I’ll never forget her keen eye and commitment to the details of NCH finances. We went through some tough years together in trying to balance budgets and keep NCH on track. She was a great mentor to younger boarder members and though she was an incredibly serious and devoted contributor, she also always found time for a good joke and playful smile. I’m honored and proud to give this award to Jean Hoagland."
