It is a true honor to receive national recognition from your peers for career achievements, as well as organizational and community service. The Academy’s Henning Award for Outstanding Contribution to Public Management is one such recognition. The Henning is the Academy’s most prestigious award. It recognizes career accomplishment, leadership, and service to the Academy, society, and community at large.
The 20th recipient of the Henning award will be recognized at the September 2009 AACPM Professional Development Conference in Orlando, Florida. The venue will be the annual awards dinner, an enjoyable evening of celebration and fellowship. I am honored to encourage each society board and their members to nominate an eligible and deserving member for the 2009 AACPM Henning Award.
The 2009 AACPM Henning Award Nomination Form and Award Evaluation Criteria are available at www.cpmacademy.org/pdf/2009-Henning-Form.pdf. Please also refer to and review the Academy’s standard operating procedures manual, Section 11.40, “Duties and Responsibilities of the Henning Award Committee,” paying particular attention to the criteria for nomination and the submission requirements.
The Henning award was inaugurated by the Academy in the late 1980s and subsequently named in honor of Kenneth K. Henning, one of our Academy heroes. His dedication and belief in improving public service remains a legacy that the Academy is proud to honor annually with the presentation of the Henning award. The Henning committee members join me in encouraging you to nominate a worthy candidate for this award. The nomination must be postmarked no later than June 30, 2009, and mailed to:
Gail P Gibson, RN MN CPM
3656 Lake Aspen West Dr.
Gretna, LA 70056
When we seek to lead a life of integrity and make a difference in the lives of others, it’s incredible what we can accomplish – and we have that opportunity every day. Make a difference and nominate a worthy candidate!
