Joseph R. Olshan Award

In 2006, the Federation established the Joseph R. Olshan Award, to be presented annually by the chair of a Board Committee, Administrative Branch Committee or Project, Initiative, or Ad Hoc Committee whose work has made the most outstanding contribution to the advancement of the FDCC's aspirational goals. By honoring a chair whose work epitomizes Joe's organizational skills and dedication to the Federation, we recognize, in perpetuity, Joe's character, warmth, dedication, and limitless contributions to the Federation, as a member and Executive Director.
