Whereas, Mr. Smith has made extensive contributions to the ADA by serving at every level in the organization. He has chaired numerous committees and boards, including the Strategic Directions Task Force, the Task Force on Children with Diabetes in Schools, and the Government Relations Committee. In 2001, he was named the ADA's National Chair of the Board of Directors, its first chairman from South Carolina; and
Whereas, his commitment to the ADA is far-reaching as a guiding force in the ADA's organizational evolution and as a published author of "The Future of Advocacy", which has provided the framework for the ADA's current advocacy structure; and

Whereas, outside of his meritorious service to the ADA, Mr. Smith was also a member of the Diabetes Research Working Group which developed a blueprint for diabetes funding at the National Institute for Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Disease at the National Institutes of Health. While serving on this group, he testified before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health in Washington, D.C.; and
