The Frank Martin Service Award
In the tradition of Frank Martin, founding father of CUMREC, each year up to two outstanding individuals are honored for exemplary service to the college and university information technology community. The award provides perpetual recognition of the selfless qualities possessed by Frank Martin, which foster the open exchange of knowledge, experience, and understanding in the new, dynamic, and uncharted world of automation in higher education. BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting, Inc.) became the sponsor of this award in 2000.
