The Drupal Community Working Group started the Aaron Winborn Awards in 2015 with the support of the Drupal Association, in honor of long-time Drupal contributor Aaron Winborn (see his Community Spotlight), who lost his battle with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS (also referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease in the US and Motor Neuron Disease in the UK) in early 2015.
The Drupal Community Working Group is pleased to announce that nominations for the 2023 Aaron Winborn Award are now open.

When you have the last name Bank, your future is pretty much mapped out for you. You go into the family business and do your best. And my best was mismanaging funds so egregiously that it shattered Americans’ confidence in the entire US banking system.
