In honor of C. David Anderson, our dear friend and colleague, the Michigan Transition Services Association issues an annual award to a MTSA member who exemplifies outstanding support and promotion of transition services through leadership, advocacy, and/or innovation.

David passed away unexpectedly on November 22, 1999, after numerous years of devotion to the education and transition of youth with disabilities.
