AENJ extends our gratitude to our Past Presidents for their hard work, dedication, service, and commitment to the organization.

The Distinguished Fellow was a lifetime achievement recognition, designed to honor members who have exemplified a professional lifetime of achievement in leadership, scholarship and service to AENJ.  The initial five charter members were selected by the Executive Board in October 1996. The program was paused in September 2020.
