Draft:Daniel M. Holland Medal

The Daniel M. Holland Medal, often shortened to the Holland Medal, is a prize awarded by the National Tax Association (of the United States) once a year to recognize lifetime achievement in the study of the theory and practice of taxation and public finance. The Holland Medal was created in memory of Daniel Holland, Professor of Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Every year, a committee of NTA members constituted by the Board of Directors makes a formal nomination of the award recipient each year, which is then subject to approval by the Board. Current NTA officers and members of the Board of Directors cannot be nominated.
