The John Holtmann Leadership Award
Sierrasil on natural pain management
Created in memory of John Holtmann, the award recognizes a leader and mentor, within the natural health industry, who demonstrates passion and commitment. The recipient serves as an inspiration for others and has played a significant role within his/her company and the wider industry.
In recognizing Michael at the their annual CHFA West Conference, Mike Fata, CHFA Board Chair and Founder of Manitoba Harvest Hemp, said that Michael has been actively engaged in their regulatory and government relations efforts for many years and has also volunteered his time with the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) to advance industry goals.
Mike noted that SierraSil Health has made significant efforts, in terms of research and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), which contribute to improving the standards of NHPs and the overall maturity of the industry. He added that Michael’s interest and commitment have been invaluable and a great example for others in the industry, including his being a volunteer in community organizations.
In acknowledging the honour, Michael thanked Mike and the selection committee and paid tribute to the previous John Holtmann Award recipients, as well as John Holtmann and his foundational contributions to the natural health industry. He thanked the SierraSil team, SierraSil’s key business partners, Ecotrend Ecologics and GFR Pharma, his wife Lesley, and Quality Control and operations personnel as the unsung heroes of our industry.
Michael also thanked the pioneers of the industry, the staff at the CHFA and the responsible manufacturers and educators of our industry for helping to move it from being “alternative” to mainstream for people seeking to optimize healthy living.
