Designed to recognize innovation and well-honed form systems
analysis skills, the BFMA Professional Awards program honors
members and their teams who have gone the extra mile for their
companies or organizations.
As an association, part of BFMA International's objective is work to establish an understanding of, and recognition for the vital role of form systems professionals in the business enterprise. The BFMA Professional

the workplace.
