The award criteria states “Upon the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors, this honor shall be bestowed to a deserving individual who aspires to the many ideals set forth by the late Dr. Dowd – dedication to the practice of urology and longstanding service to the New England Section.” The award was presented at the NEAUA annual meeting in Hartford, Conn. in September.
