Kelley-Wyman Memorial Award

Home / Attorneys General / Awards and Recognition / Kelley-Wyman Memorial Award
2019 Kelley-Wyman Award

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is presented the 2019 Kelley-Wyman Memorial Award by NAAG President and Montana Attorney General Tim Fox.

 

NAAG’s most coveted annual award is given to the attorney general who has done the most to advance the objectives of the National Association of Attorneys General.  

Originally called the Wyman Memorial Award, it was renamed the Kelley-Wyman Award in recognition of the outstanding service and contributions of Frank Kelley, who served as attorney general of Michigan from January 1962 to January 1999. The award was instituted as a gift, made by former New Hampshire Attorney General Louis Wyman, in memory of his father. 

A panel of attorneys general, including members of the NAAG Executive Committee, selects the recipient of this award annually.
