The Annual NEBA Award for Excellence in Mitigation Banking honors an individual in the mitigation banking community who has contributed substantially to the development and success of the mitigation banking industry. The award may recognize both individual and firm achievements.
The Annual NEBA Award for Excellence in Public Service honors an individual in the regulatory community who has demonstrated excellence in their role in the regulatory process. This may include the development of policy and improved procedures related to mitigation banking as well as diligent and efficient processing of required regulatory actions.
To nominate an individual or firm, please complete our brief nomination form.
