ABOUT THE EMERY AWARDS

The Emery Awards are named after Dr. Emery Hetrick, who along with partner Dr. A. Damien Martin, founded the Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI) in 1979. The first awards were presented in 1987 in honor of Dr. Hetrick, who passed away in February of that year. For more than three decades, HMI has presented the annual Emery Awards to individuals and corporations that exemplify HMI’s mission of providing a safe and supportive environment for all young people—regardless of their sexual orientation or identity—as well as those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within our community.
