The Monitoring Association’s (TMA) President Morgan Hertel honoured one of TMA’s volunteer members with the Mel Mahler Award, formerly known as the President’s Award on Monday, November 6th during its General Business Meeting at the 2023 Annual Meeting in Maui, HI. 

The Mel Mahler Award is presented at the discretion of the TMA president in recognition of outstanding contributions within his/her tenure. The 2023 Mel Mahler Award recipient is Mark McCall, Immix.

ANSI/TMA-AVS-01 standard

Most recently, Mark chaired the development committee for the ANSI/TMA-AVS-01 standard

In presenting the 2023 Mel Mahler Award to McCall, President Hertel shared his personal and professional experience working closely with the awardee over the past 20 years. 

I have great respect for Mark–both as a dedicated pioneer and colleague. Most recently, Mark chaired the development committee for the ANSI/TMA-AVS-01 standard. Without his guidance and expert stewardship, I am not certain that the standard would have been completed within the targeted timeline. He is a consummate professional. I am pleased to recognise his outstanding contributions to TMA.”

Tremendous contributions

I did not know Mel Mahler personally, but I do know of his tremendous contributions to our industry. I do know, at various levels, all of the previous winners and have worked in some way with all of them. To be considered in the same light as Mel Mahler and the previous award winners is truly an honour. Thank you to TMA for the recognition and I look forward to many more years of service,” said Mark McCall.
