The trade association also recognized individual Instructors of the Year for each college within the University. They include:

“This year’s award winners represent the changing industry and the need for a diverse knowledge base,” said NSCA executive director Chuck Wilson in a statement. “These industry experts create a higher standard of learning from the technician to the business owner. We are pleased to have them represent NSCA University to improve our industry and it professionals.”

According to NSCA, winners were determined based on evaluations completed by students participating in NSCA University courses. Instructors were evaluated in areas such as topic knowledge, engagement with students, and topic relevance. The 2009 recipients will be recognized at the annual NSCA Member Meeting and Industry Forum, as well as the President’s Reception during InfoComm 2010.
