Member Awards

View Previous Member Awards Winners

BFMA International created its Member Awards Program to recognize the time and effort of the association’s far-flung membership in creating a powerful educational and networking resource for the betterment of the form community.

The Member Awards Program exists to encourage members to participate in the creation and maintenance of their association’s resources.  It is the embodiment of the member mantra:

Your ASSOCIATION has a lot of resources to offer you.
Only YOU can establish the connection between these resources and your mind.
You ARE your Association.
