The late Frank MARTIN was a long-serving GC member, President in 1970, pioneer of innovative ideas, not least the founder of the ABI Benevolent Fund and, through his generosity, the person who placed the ABI in its position of financial strength that we all benefit from to this day. It was therefore fitting for the ABI to create this award in Frank’s name and memory, which is presented to a member who is considered to have served the Association above and beyond the call of duty.
This year, the award goes to Debbie Craven F/2085 from Tyne and Wear who joined the association in 2017. She quickly became a popular and well-loved figure among her fellow members, always bringing a friendly smile and regularly attending our conferences and AGMs.
Her enthusiasm for the association, the warm welcome she consistently offers, and her dedicated work as Chair of the Northern Branch have not gone unnoticed.
