Awards

The Mary Stecker Fund & Award

The Mary Stecker Fund is set up to assist relatively new practitioners of intra-operative neurophysiologic monitoring to attend the Annual Meeting of the ASNM. The amount of the award is typically $250 and is given to the recipient at the ASNM Annual Meeting Business Meeting. The money comes from the interest on the account. It is hoped that at least some of the interest each year goes back to the fund principle to allow for future inflation related increases in the award size. Typically, the fund will grant one award. However, additional contributions can be made each year that will allow for other awards.  

Past award winners include:

  • Sajjad Ali (2018)
  • Proel Perez Galdos (2016)
  • Ramesh Vijay (2015)
  • Jacobs (2014)
  • Cabrera Cousiño (2013)
  • McGiffert (2012)
  • Marat Avshalumov (2009)
  • Jankovic (2009)
  • Josh Mergos (2008)
  • Capetto (2007)
  • Ramesh Vijay (2005)
