The Howard Krieger Beacon Lifetime Achievement Award
“Be a Beacon”
The CCND Lifetime Achievement Award was established to honor those who have made a lasting and notable commitment to the advancement of Non-Adversarial divorce, the protection and integrity of children and families during divorce and service to the cause. In 2019, CCND proudly renamed the award the Howard Krieger Beacon Lifetime Achievement Award, as our beloved friend and colleague embodied these values in his practice and in his life.
Bob Horwitz, 2023 Recipient of the Howard Krieger Beacon Lifetime Achievement Award
Throughout his many years as a board member of CCND, Bob has shown unflagging commitment to the organization and to assisting families to divorce in a more humane and non-adversarial way. He embodies the very ideals that the award is intended to recognize and celebrate.
Bob has been a board member of CCND almost from its inception, making him the longest-serving board member. He has been a member of CCND for so long that he has given new meaning to the term “object permanence.”
Bob has played many roles on the board, including co-president, but Bob is probably most famous for his role as a one-man training committee. Over the years, Bob organized trainings, conferences, and dinner meeting presentations. He was responsible for inviting the presenters, drafting the programs, arranging for the logistics, including picking the presenters up from the airport and, if I’m not mistaken, at least one time housing them. You name it, Bob did it. Bob is always willing to volunteer his time, talents and energy to CCND and does it with a smile. When Bob offers his opinion and insight at board meetings, people listen not just because of his archival knowledge but because Bob always has something thoughtful to say.
Bob is the organization’s true North, ensuring that we stay aligned with our core principles. CCND would like to thank Bob for his enduring commitment to the organization and for all of the time and energy he has put into making CCND a success from the beginning.
