The DMAW’s Hall of Leaders is our association’s highest honor. The origins of this award go back 58 years and have included such industry greats such as Hal Malchow (2013), Richard Viguerie (1972), and Austin Kiplinger (1987). Previously known as the Professional Man of the Year, Professional of the Year and the Award for Distinguished Achievement, the award was renamed in 2014 to acknowledge the breadth and depth of luminaries that have been honored.
