BOOM is a statewide award ceremony recognizing individuals with a disability who have excelled professionally or personally.
Each year, three individuals are honored as the Employee of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year and Athlete of the Year.
The goal of the BOOM Awards is to provide stereotype-busting role models for people with disabilities. Great inspiration comes from people who have done it and done it well – that’s who we’re celebrating.

Lifetime Achievement
Harry Smith IMPACT ScholarshipIn June 2010, the rehabilitation community lost a passionate advocate and visionary with the passing of Michigan’s own Harry R. Smith. Harry was a Past-President of MRA and NRA. He will be remembered for his extraordinary career accomplishments, exhaustive professional service contributions (at the local, state, and national levels), and the significant,long-term impact he had on the lives of citizens with disabilities, and professionals for more than 35 years. It is Harry’s character that stands out above all. He can be defined by an insatiable search for truth, fairness, and humanity within our rehabilitationservice delivery system, and a desire for all rehabilitation professionals to continuously review and enhance the laws and public policy that guide and inspire us to positively impact the lives of persons with disabilities. Harry was committed to learning new and innovative techniques for service delivery, discussing opportunities for policy change, and re-engaging our advocacy efforts. It is with this scholarship award that we strive to inspire others tocontinue in the spirit of Harry’s legacy.
