Important Reminders: Henning Award, A highlight of the Awards banquet held at each annual AACPM Professional Development Conference is the presentation of the Henning Award. The Henning Award, named for Kenneth K. Henning of Georgia who pioneered the CPM program, is the highest level of management recognition to which any Academy fellow can aspire. The 2009 Henning Committee will be chaired by the Academy’s most recent recipient, Gail Gibson of Louisiana. In the near future, Gail will distribute the nomination packets to all Society presidents. This will establish the nomination deadlines and will explain the process. Updated forms and deadlines will also be posted soon on the Academy website www.cpmacademy.com; in the meantime, you may review the guidelines on the website by clicking “Stars” on the sidebar of the home page. The Academy also announces the winner of the Fran K. Wilkinson Scholarship at the annual banquet. This scholarship honors the contributions of Fran W. Wilkinson, the 1983 President of the Georgia CPM Society and the 1987 Chair of the National CPM Consortium, who died in 1990. Anyone who is pursuing a career in public management can apply for this scholarship. Barbara Taft of Oklahoma is this year’s scholarship chair. Updated scholarship application deadlines will also be posted soon on the Academy website. CPM program participants whose projects have been acknowledged as exemplary are eligible to be considered for the George C. Askew award. These awards are named for George C. Askew, recognized as the first person to receive CPM certification (by virtue of his last name) at the first graduation ceremony in Georgia in 1976. Askew was a leader at both the local and national levels in the early days of the organizations. Recipients are selected by each CPM program. The Academy’s Management Practices is chaired by Charlene Cutting of New Hampshire. |
