For the first time, the Forum awarded two Presidents’ Awards, as two Presidents served between last year’s conference and this year’s. Award recipient Bruce Oberlies has been active in the Forum for more than 20 years. He created the group’s Regulatory Committee and chaired several working groups during that time, as well as served on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the Forum. Award recipient Mark Turner has played an active role in the Forum serving on the Board of Directors for seven years.  Mark held the position of Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Forum for the majority of his time on the board. His merits are not only his significant impacts on the organization and work products of the Forum but also his personal initiative going far beyond the responsibilities of his position.
