The New Jersey Association of Floodplain Management (NJAFM) aims to honor those who have made exemplary contributions to floodplain management in New Jersey. Many of the awards are presented annually. However, awards of the highest honor are awarded only when an accomplishment or contribution to flood loss reduction deserves special recognition. Nominations are requested from the NJAFM membership. Recipients are announced each year at the NJAFM Annual Conference. |
