Henry Giessenbier, Jr. Memorial Award
Each state organization annually recognizes chapters that have done the best job in developing “the WHOLE member through the WHOLE chapter.” This award is known as the Giessenbier Memorial Award.
Henry Giessenbier Jr. (1892-1935) was the founder and first President of The United States Junior Chamber, which was established in 1920. He conceived the idea of a young person’s organization dedicated to the personal and
professional development of its members.
