Personal injury attorney David Henson was honored with the Heavy Lifting Award from the American Association for Justice (AAJ) for his commitment to the organization and its Leaders Forum. Henson received his award on Sunday, July 10 during the 65th Annual AAJ Conference in New York.
“I am honored and flattered to receive this award,” said Henson, who received the award for his contributions to the legal organization and his continued effort to recruit new members for the Leaders Forum. “It means a great deal to be recognized in this way, and I’m proud to be part of such a respected organization devoted to ensuring the rights of others.”
The AAJ’s Heavy Lifting Award, which was first given in 2008 as a way to recognize the extraordinary efforts of AAJ members, is given to individuals who have shown exemplary leadership with regards to fundraising. These recipients have gone above and beyond the call of duty to benefit numerous AAJ programs, campaigns, and causes.
The AAJ created the Leaders Forum in 2000 to ensure that every person has access to justice. This group of firms helps the AAJ protect the civil justice system by increasing financial resources for public relations, legislative advocacy, and public education efforts on Capitol Hill and in the court of public opinion.
