Award Winners

2008 Inductee
Dr. Stanley C. Abraham

Dr. Stan Abraham was a founding member of the ASP in 1999, and served as its president for several years. He led the Los Angeles Chapter when it was created as a chapter of ASP. Dr. Abraham organized the first ASP Annual Conference, and was extensively involved with subsequent conferences in roles as session speaker coordinator, best paper selection, and keynote speaker selection. He has orchestrated student attendance at many ASP events and conferences, and has written numerous articles about ASP in professional journals. Dr. Abraham also led the Richard Goodman selection committee.

Dr. Abraham's many contributions to ASP put him in the first ranks for selection to the ASP Hall of Fame. Without his many sustained and highly professional efforts, ASP would not be an effective professional association that it is today.
