Spirit of the Hive Award

The Spirit of the Hive Award was established in 2014 to honor Dr. Clayne Steed (pictured below) upon his retirement from the Raymond Clinic. Dr. Steed exemplified wisdom, ethics, and collaboration in decision-making, inspiring the creation of this annual award. The award is presented to an individual who has made exceptional contributions to CPCN, with the recipient holding the trophy until the next year’s honoree is chosen.
