• DAMA Community Award - A member of the DAMA community who has gone beyond the call of volunteer service to enhance the efforts of providing exceptional benefits to DAMA.
  

Nominations for the Professional Award were submitted from worldwide DAMA chapters over the past several months. The DAMA Awards Committee was looking for leaders who have made a significant contribution in their respective category, specifically in the area of IRM / DRM or to DAMA.

Anne Marie Smith, DAMA International Ethics Officer, states, “David Marco’s nod for the award was unanimous and that all members of the committee felt strongly that the award was long overdue.”
