2023 Catherine Durda Award

The Catherine Durda award is given in memory of Catherine Durda, the first female chair of the NAFTZ Board of Directors.  Durda was an innovative marketer and promoter of FTZs in the New York area. During her involvement with the NAFTZ, she dedicated much of her time to advancing the importance of FTZs for trade and job creation.

Each year, Grantee members are asked to submit their best marketing resources (video, printed ad, website, etc.) to be considered for the award.  Traditionally, the winner was voted on at the NAFTZ Annual Conference by conference attendees.  Beginning this year, the nominees will be presented to the entire membership, giving all members the opportunity to see the tremendous work of our Grantees and to vote to honor the materials/resources that best promote the advantages of using foreign-trade zones.

The winner of the annual Catherine Durda Award receives a complimentary registration to the next years NAFTZ Annual Conference.  The 2024 NAFTZ Annual Conference will be held in New Orleans, LA.  The link to vote is below under the submissions.

Voting closed in October 2023.
