National Tax Association

The National Tax Association presents the Daniel M. Holland Medal for outstanding contributions to the study and practice of public finance. The award was begun in 1993.  The recipient is chosen by a committee of NTA members selected by the Board of Directors, and the medal is awarded at the Annual Meeting of the Members, held in conjunction with the Annual Conference on Taxation.

He was a practitioner who played a role in the implementation of fiscal reform. He made great efforts to further the work of the National Tax Association, and was the Editor of the National Tax Journal from 1966 through 1991.
