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 expected to be presented at our annual professional development conference in Binghamton, NY in June, 2007.
