President's Award

The President’s Award was initiated in 1994 by then-President Dr. Harold Skipper of Georgia State University. The stated intention was to recognize an individual’s distinguished, sustained, and significant service contributions to ARIA, service that otherwise might go unrecognized.

The 2024 winner is Anne Elizabeth Kleffner. Congratulations!
