Neil Hardy Brödel Award for Educational Contributions

The nitty-gritty of this award is to honor a medical illustrator for long-term outstanding educational contributions to the profession of medical illustration. Without a doubt, Neil has bolstered the business and ethical reputation of both the AMI and its individual members throughout his career. His sample job contract and his leadership support of free-lance proprietorship have rung the Liberty Bell. Neil has been tireless in his committee work to assure that graduate programs of medical illustration meet accreditation requirements. Better yet, as an instructor in Molecular Illustration as well as Business Practices at Hopkins, Neil has guided his students through the trials and tribulations of such courses with a hearty cheer of fellowship. Alas! Why ever have you left all this for retirement?
