President’s REPORT Colleen Nunnelly Memorial Award In October 2011, NACBA lost a wonderful colleague and long-term NACBA Member, K. Colleen Nunnelly. Ever a strong supporter of NACBA’s mission, always a positive voice within NACBA and an outstanding State Chair, Colleen will be greatly missed. In recognition of her contributions to NACBA, we have created the K. Colleen Nunnelly Award to honor a NACBA member whose collegiality and support for NACBA’s mission embodies Colleen’s spirit, quiet leadership, enthusiasm, and positive contributions to NACBA. Recipient: Herman Padgett, Esq. (AL) I would like to extend our sincerest thanks and congratulations to all the award recipients, keynote speakers, presenters, and panel chairs for their participation and presentation in this convention. This event also would not have been possible without the continued support from the NACBA membership, sponsors, exhibitors and most importantly, the convention planning committee and NACBA staff.
