Established by the MABC Board of Directors in 2022, the award honors the legacy of former member Walter Jankowski who passed away suddenly in 2021. While he specialized in process improvement, metrics, and change management, Walter will be remembered for the gracious way he volunteered his time. And for the unforgettable joy he exhibited when sharing his knowledge and mentoring others.

Award recipients are MABC members, recognized by their peers, for joyfully volunteering their time, talents or resources to make an appreciable contribution to the organization.
