  • Henning Award Recipients

    At its 2008 Professional Development Conference to be held in Columbus, Ohio, the American Academy of Certified Public Managers® (AACPM) will recognize one active Fellow whose contributions to public sector management, their CPM Society and the Academy at both the local and national level are judged most exemplary of the CPM image and philosophy. 

    The concept of a professional excellence award was first proposed by the Academy in the late 1980’s and was subsequently 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.  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.
