The Hal Madden Outstanding Services Awardhonors individuals from within the public mental health sys-tems who have made, over time, outstanding contributions to the public mental health system. Sadly, Hal Mad-

den, long time West Michigan CMH System board member and a five term President of MACMHB, passed away earlier this year. Mr. Madden served for fifty-five years on the West Michigan CMH System board.

One of his proudest accomplishments was bringing people home to their communities and out of “being locked up in those damned warehouses,” as he referred to state institutions. He was one of MACMHB’s founding members.

TheFY12recipientsoftheHal Madden AwardwereClintonGalloway,boardmemberofIoniaCountyCMH,editorofConnections,andaWesternRegionrepresentativeontheMACMHBExecutiveBoard;andChristinaWard,AdministrativeExecutivefortheMichi-ganAssociationofCommunityMentalHealthBoards.Ourcongratulationsandgratitudegoouttothesededicatedandlong-servingindi-viduals.
