Regarding the Lifetime Achievement Award, Miller stated during her acceptance speech, “I was 19 years old when I first started with Beltone and I thank them for everything, it’s my life. This is a wonderful industry. For everybody who is just starting out, I urge them, if you’re happy with it stick with it, because you’re helping people hear better. It’s truly an honor and privilege to receive this award and I thank IHS and everyone for helping the hearing impaired.”

Dunlop, BC-HIS, who was recognized as a 55-Year IHS All-Star; Amanda Bonner, BC-HIS of Beltone in Huntington, West Virginia was presented with the James P.
