The Kay Beattie Award was initiated in 1991 as a Lectureship to be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association. This award honors Kay Beattie MT(ASCP)SBB, a past active member of MABB, who has made numerous significant contributions to blood group serology and to immunohematology education.
From 1961 through 1975, Ms. Beattie was the Technical Co-Director of the Michigan Community Blood Center (MCBC). Many of her major contributions to transfusion medicine occurred during this time. In 1993, MCBC offered their support as corporate sponsor of the Kay Beattie Lectureship. To paraphrase the words of Norman L. Felker, President of MCBC: sponsoring this award reflects MCBC’s commitment to high standards of expertise in clinical and technical areas. The MABB appreciates MCBC’s continuing commitment to sponsorship of the Kay Beattie Lectureship Award.
