The 21st presentation of the coveted Henning Award will take place at the AACPM Annual Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, next October. Since its inception, the Henning Award was first presented to Nancy DeWitt of Louisiana and has been subsequently presented to recipients from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, and Wisconsin.

The concept of a professional excellence award was first proposed by the Academy in the late 1980’s and was named in honor of Kenneth K. Henning, whose vision of a quality management development program tailored to the needs of state government resulted in the design and implementation of the Certified Public Manager® concept and the establishment of the Georgia Certified Public Manager® Program, the American Academy of Certified Public Manager® Program, and the movement of the Certified Public Manager® concept in many other locales. The vision and leadership displayed by Mr. Henning remain to this day embodied in both the American Academy and the Certified Public Manager® Programs in more than 25 state and local jurisdictions.

Ken Henning remains committed to the CPM vision and philosophy and continues as a role model for each of us to follow. Throughout his career, Mr. Henning has been exceptionally generous in his time and commitment and has performed countless services for a variety of governmental agencies and groups. His dedication and belief in improving and strengthening public service remains a legacy that the Academy is proud to honor annually with the presentation of the Henning Award.

It is time for each Society to seriously consider nominating a worthy candidate for the 2010 Henning Award. I urge you to do so and look forward to receiving a nomination for this year’s award from each CPM Society
