Honors and Awards

Albert H. Hall Memorial Award
This award replaced the NIGP Fellow Award


"Adopted at the 2000 Forum Board of Directors meeting in Baltimore, MD, the "FNIGP" designation recognizes the Albert H. Hall Award, NIGP's highest award, recipients as a "fellow" of NIGP in order to preserve its fellowship component within the award. Established in 1977, the Albert H. Hall Award was renamed from the NIGP Fellow Award to honor its founder, Albert H. Hall, who served as NIGP's first Executive Vice President from 1944 to 1975."
