NCM Awards

The Health Consortium will be recognized on the NCM Honor Roll for the commitment of SJVHC CEO, Mary Wallace in supporting their mission in the Central Valley. In support of the importance of ethnic media, anyone interested in the awards ceremony can sponsor a table or purchase tickets.

In recognition of journalistic excellence in ethnic media since 1998, the NCM Awards showcases stories making the news in California. More importantly, the organization highlights the people and media outlets that report them. The event will take place on Thursday, January 26, 2006 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California.
