The Marilyn M. Levine AIIP President’s Award, formerly called the AIIP President’s Award, was renamed in 2010 to honor AIIP’s founder and the first award recipient Marilyn M. Levine. President Karen Klein this year honored June Boyle, as a dedicated supporter and unwavering ambassador of AIIP over the years. As chair of the 2022 Annual Conference, June demonstrated leadership, flexibility, and resolve when it became clear that an in-person conference was in jeopardy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
