ROANOKE, VA, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Roanoke, VA, May 1, 2019 – Finalists have been announced for the 5th Annual LTEN Excellence Awards, a national competition that recognizes innovative and inspiring work done by life sciences training professionals at primary market companies (“practitioners”) and by training supplier companies (“providers”). The LTEN Excellence Award winners will be announced during a June 5 ceremony at the 48th LTEN Annual Conference, June 3-6, 2019, in Grapevine, TX.

The awards are presented and sponsored by the Life Sciences Trainers & Educators Network (LTEN), the world’s largest professional association of life sciences trainers and educators. The LTEN Excellence Awards honors life sciences training professionals in several categories, as well as designating LTEN Members of the Year.
Finalists in the seven competitive categories in the annual awards program will be honored at the ceremony, along with the LTEN Members of the Year, which are determined by the LTEN Board of Directors. A panel of life sciences training leaders served as judges for the seven competitive categories.

“Our expert judges had their work cut out for them this year,” said Dawn Brehm, executive director of LTEN. “This year’s awards competition saw nearly twice as many entries as previous years, and the quality of the nominees was phenomenal, making judging a very difficult task. Still, our judges came up with an impressive list of finalists, and it’s an honor to recognize their game-changing work.”
