Golden Leaf Memorial Award

Inspired by the late Terry Vander Heyden, former CMA vice president for member services, this title was derived from the leaves of trees that are alive and growing and golden to connote richness and quality. The award is named for Heyden, who was the first recipient. The award has been established to honor the memory of deceased members of CMA who have held leadership positions and/or contributed greatly to the goals of the organization.
