Dick Noble Distinguished Service Award
The first Dick Noble Distinguished Service Award was presented to Dick Noble in September 1992 for his visionary leadership and outstanding contributions while conceiving, planning, and executing the formation of the Association of Meeting Professionals. Dick Noble's selfless devotion and high standards of excellence directly resulted in the founding of an organization that now includes more than 500 industry professionals.

AMPs Exemplary Service Award
The first Exemplary Service Award was presented in 2020, a year that was unique not only due to the global pandemic but also because it marked a time when AMPs reignited its commitment to serving the membership, the industry, and its mission. This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of AMPs volunteers. The organization was proud to recognize these individuals for their outstanding contributions in the reinvention of AMPs.
