Member Awards

ARRM believes that a legacy is an individual's enduring impact on those they've served. Legacies are not accidental but deliberate result of thoughtful actions which placed those they've served at the center of their leadership style. In recognition of these individuals, ARRM is now offering the ARRM Legacy Leader Award.

The ARRM Legacy Leader Award was established in 2025 to honor our finest and most influential leaders, including those visible to our broader membership and those who may not be as well known. All recipients will have delivered noteworthy leadership in their lifetime and can be recognized by their ability to empower and influence others towards positive impacts.

In addition to the award itself, our winner will be given free registration and lodging to this year's ARRM Leadership Conference! If you are interested in nominating someone for this award, please review the general bullet points below, then proceed through our Award Nomination Form for full details regarding criteria and submission requirements.
