DOOR AND HARDWARE INSTITUTE AWARD RECIPIENTS
Many individuals give of themselves tirelessly to our organization and industry, so it is important that they be duly recognized and honored, and more importantly, thanked for their efforts. The DHI Awards Committee determines who should be honored within our industry. Following is a list of past DHI Award Recipients:
FOUNDERS AWARD
The Institute's highest and most prestigious award recognizes significant and outstanding technical expertise and service to the Institute or to the architectural openings industry over an extended period of time.
CRITERIA
This award is reserved for truly exceptional individuals who have unquestionably demonstrated outstanding service and/or technical expertise. To qualify, nominees must be one of the following: a distinguished consultant (DAHC or DCDC), a Fellow (FDHI), a recipient of the former Merrill Award, or a recipient of the former Leeser Award. Nominees shall have contributed to the industry in such a way as to render them role models to other members of the industry. Nominations are based on an extended period of service, not on an individual or isolated project or activity. Only one Founder's Award may be awarded each year. This award may be conferred posthumously.
