Leader of the year - Nominate a leader in the CED field
Annually, CEDAM recognizes a Community Economic Development Leader of the Year: a CEDAM member who has engaged in creative programming, been involved in an exciting new development or has generally proved to be a leader in the field.

The Gene Kuthy Award - Nominate an outstanding board member
Gene Kuthy was a consummate board member. He helped to form CEDAM in 1998, seeing the need to create a statewide organization to serve the community economic development industry and being one of our original board members.
To honor the late Gene Kuthy, CEDAM honors a current or former board member of a CEDAM member who embodies Gene’s positive and unique attributes: fun, larger than life, generous, an incredible networker, a champion of a particular program and more.
The Award will be presented at CEDAM’S 25th Anniversary Celebration and $2,500 will be given to the organization in which the recipient serves.
