CTEH is a team of innovators committed to scientific quality and helping others in their times of need. Every year, we honor the individuals who exemplify the values our company was built on nearly 30 years ago. We’re proud to announce the 2023 Founder Awards recipients below:
- Innovative Services Award: Tami McMullin, PhD has helped cement our company as a leader in innovative solutions with her efforts to grow our applied public health practice. Nearly every day, she combines her foresight and expertise to guide partners through unprecedented challenges and set new industry standards. As one of her peers recently noted, she is known for “pioneering strategies and tactics in unique markets to help our clients navigate never-been-seen issues.”
- Quality Focus Award: Anyone who has worked with Eric Callahan, GISP, knows his data science, GIS, and software development skills are unmatched. He’s consistently focused on delivering high-quality, error-free solutions, whether deploying comprehensive software or data consolidation tools. While regularly lauded for his dedication to enhancing our collective expertise, colleagues often remark that he “humbly seeks no recognition” for his pivotal role in CTEH’s success.
- Outstanding Mentor Award: Jamie Beck, is passionate about sharing his knowledge and insights to help nurture the personal and professional growth of those around him. One of his peers shared how Jamie often counsels his teammates on “different ways to communicate” so they can become more effective managers. He knows how to identify and cultivate others’ potential, which yields long-term benefits for his mentees and our entire company.
- Scientific Distinction: Jason Callahan, CIH, CSP, is often recognized by his colleagues for his exceptional contributions to our body of work. While serving on more than 100 responses and projects, he has consistently advanced the principles of “sound science.” Through his roles as data manager, industrial hygienist, and now as a health scientist, he has been resolute in helping further our company’s reputation for delivering innovative solutions and contributing to the broader scientific community.
