What Max Dunn Did and has Done (at ISTM)

ISTM has been around a long time (since 1982) and in it’s early days a few individuals worked very hard and gave a lot of time to make sure it happened, survived and prospered. 

Sadly many of the those people aren’t around anymore and most ISTM members never met them and may not even know much about them … which is a shame. 

But, in one case, some things live on. 

Max Dunn was ISTM President between 1988 and 1993 and was one of those people who showed leadership when it was needed and collegiate-ness at other times.  Max died in 1998 and his good friend, David Le Page, suggested the creation of an annual award in his name.

So, each year ISTM gives the Max Dunn Award to person who demonstrates those qualities and exemplifies camaraderie in the strata industry.

The recent award recipients are (in date order) are –
