History of The President’s Award
In 2005, under the leadership of then President,
Louise Criticos, the idea was suggested to establish a
prestigious professional award whereby NYSADVS members
could recognize an outstanding peer. Two board members,
Maria Burns and Amy McAden, initiated the groundwork for
the development of this concept.
In 2006, newly-elected President, Kathy Leonard, appointed honorary
member, Kay Kantorowski, to chair the committee that would eventually
lead the concept to fruition. The committee consisted of two honorary
members, Richard Heim and Lynne Perry, and, with input from Kathy
Leonard and Maria Burns, the fine points of the award concept
(nomination criteria, application and notification processes, appearance
and inscription of the actual award) were established.
We are pleased to announce that the first "NYSADVS
President’s Award for Professional Excellence" is

development conference in Binghamton, NY in June, 2007.
