The Chair's Award
The award was created by National Chair Mel Burges in 2011 for the purpose of recognizing a CFMA member who exhibited extraordinary performance for one or more CFMA initiatives during his/her term in office. This award is available every year, but not mandatory and awarded at the discretion of the Chair.
The first annual recipient of the Chair’s Award is Gordon Marshall for his tireless work in the development of CFMA’s first eLearning course, Revenue Recognition. Bringing this course to our members and profession was no small task and even though it was a team effort, Gordon was truly the driving force behind it and his work will be the framework for all future eLearning courses.
In 2018, then-CFMA Chairman Joe McLaughlin wanted to recognize members who do exceptional work for CFMA, but whose efforts might not be acknowledged at the Executive level. He was reminded of the military tradition of the challenge coin – a small medallion or token that signifies a person is a member of an elite group. Since then, CFMA Executive Committee members have followed the tradition of giving out a limited number of Chairman’s Challenge Coins to CFMA members who exhibit service and excellence to CFMA.
