Award of Excellence Winners

Year of Award  Presentation	Name
2013-2014	Peter Wolters	fmi*igf operates with the efforts of many volunteers. This year we recognized a very special individual for his significant contribution to fmi*igf. It is with great sadness that Mr. Peter Wolters passed away suddenly earlier this year. Peter had always been a very strong supporter of our institution, spending countless years volunteering at all levels of the organization including 10 years on the Fredericton Board of Directors, two years as the Chapter President from 1997-1999 and again in 2013. He was also elected on the National Board of Directors for five years and was the National President in 2006-2007.   Significant changes took place for the fmi*igf organization during this time period and Peter was involved in developing policies and procedures for the Chapter Investment Fund, overseeing a review of the National Office staffing structure, and coordinating the review of fmi*igf policies and by-laws. For all his hard work and invaluable contributions to the organization, Peter Wolters will be awarded the fmi*igf Award of Excellence, posthumously at PD Week 2014.
