The American Psychological Executive Development Roundtable an-nounced their Marion Gislason Awards for 1999 and 2000. Congratulations to Dr. Michael Lombardo, co-founder of Lominger Limited, Inc., who is the recipient of the 2000 Marion Gislason Award for Leadership in Executive Development from the Executive Development Roundtable at the Boston University School of Management. Dr. Lombardo is a pioneer and internationally recognized expert in the area of leadership and management research, as well as in the development of experiences and instruments that facilitate the development of leaders. With his transformative work on learning and person-organization alignment, and his role that spans the boundary between research and practice, Dr. Lombardo embodies the vision and values that we associate with the spirit of Marion Gislason.

We congratulate the 1999 Marion Gislason Award recipient, Dr. Daniel Goleman. Dr. Goleman is CEO of Emotional Intelligence Services, an affiliate of the Hay Group, and co-chairman of the Consortium for Social and Emotional Learning in the Workplace, based in the School of Professional Psychology at Rutgers University. Dr. Golemans work represents true leadership for scholars, practitioners, and executives interested in the field of leadership development. Dr. Goleman was acknowledged here, in particular, for his work in recognizing the human potential in leadership development, very much in keeping with the spirit of the award, in warm remembrance of Marion Gislason.

The Gislason Award was established to honor the late Marion Gislason, the former director of corporate training at JP Morgan & Company, who was instrumental in the creation and success of the Executive Development Roundtable. Both awards were presented by Marne Obernauer, husband of Ms. Gislason, and Laurie Hutton-Corr of Concert and chair of the Executive Development Roundtable Steering Committee. SIOP Fellow Douglas T. Hall is the director of the Boston University Executive Development Roundtable.
