The Annual Business Meeting also includes the presentation of the HMDR Division Awards:

  • Kenneth C. Topping Planning Innovation Award: This award will honor the best new approach to solving a hazard mitigation, disaster recovery, or resilience problem within the past two years.
  • Adrian Freund Lifetime Achievement Award: This will honor the most outstanding overall career achievement regarding hazard mitigation, disaster recovery, climate adaptation, and resilience for a veteran planner.
  • Jennifer Ellison Distinguished Service Award: This is our longest-standing award. It honors exceptional volunteer service to the Division. 

Not every award is given every year. In 2022, we will be giving out the Kenneth C. Topping Planning Innovation Award and the Jennifer Ellison Distinguished Service Award.
