Russell Brannon & John Keane Signature Award

Recognizes a current active member of AMPP whose outstanding service, dedication, and leadership have contributed to the development, advancement, and promotion of the AMPP strategic objectives.

The nomination must include a statement that substantiates the exceptional nature of the nominee's contributions to AMPP and how the achieved results promoted the mission, objectives, or core values of AMPP.

Such contributions could be:

  • Improving AMPP’s visibility and influence at the national or international level.
  • Providing frameworks that provide a base for AMPP’s strategic decisions.
  • Advocacy at the governmental or political level in support of industry.
