The 2024 Russ Marcoux Municipal Advocate of the year award was presented at NHMA’s annual awards banquet held on November 15 in conjunction with the NHMA Annual Conference in Manchester.
NHMA’s Executive Director, Margaret Byrnes, recounted the history of the award: it was initiated in 2011 by NHMA staff as an incentive and a recognition for a local official who had made extraordinary effort in advocating on legislative issues affecting local government. The staff decided in 2011 to give the first award to Bedford town manager Russ Marcoux.
