HFA’S ANNUAL
SYMPOSIUM AWARDS

Each year at Symposium, Hemophilia Federation of America recognizes individuals in the
bleeding disorders community who have made a positive impact. While Symposium was turned

into a virtual educational conference in 2020, HFA still honored those who made a difference.

B:11.5" VOLUNTEER Tracy Cleghorn
T:11" OF THE YEAR
S:9.875" Selected by the HFA staff in recognition of tremendous

national spirit and remarkable volunteerism with HFA for

the bleeding disorders community.

Tracy Cleghorn is one of the first people to volunteer to help. As
she transitioned from board chair, she found other ways to lead and
continues to serve the community through her work on the Symposium
committee from 2019 to 2020, governance committee, and CEO search
committee, among others. Her time, efforts and visible leadership do
not go unnoticed. HFA and the bleeding disorders community are
stronger as a result of Tracy’s consistent style, passion and leadership!

For extraordinary lifetime service that encompasses HAMILTON
LEGACY AWARD
national volunteerism, professionalism and leadership.

As the board president for the Committee of Ten Thousand (COTT),
Carl Weixler has been a strong advocate for his fellow blood brothers and
sisters since he was a child. At the tender age of 4, Carl met with the governor to
discuss a “hemophilia program” for the state of Kentucky. And it didn’t stop there.

Carl’s entire life has been full of advocacy efforts at both state and national
levels. He has sat on numerous advisory boards for governmental agencies
and manufacturers, is a past HFA board chair, and has represented the bleeding
disorders community across the globe. He welcomes each and every blood
brother that comes through the door, with open arms, and is always looking out
for the safety and well-being of others. He really has been a true advocate and
supporter of our community since the very beginning.
