This very special award was first announced and awarded at the 2012 SMART Conference. The first presentation of the award gave tribute and recognition to an individual who has continuously given extraordinary and exemplary service toward the growth and dissemination of the SMART program since its inception 25 years ago. The name of the award was that of the person who filled those criteria in every manner imaginable, SMART’s founding president, Joe Gerstein. Over the past 25 years, Joe has worked tirelessly to further the growth and goals of SMART in both the U.S. and internationally. His work and dedication should serve as inspiration for others who work to further the SMART Recovery mission.
