At the NACM Annual conference last month the association presented the Perkins Award to Zenell Brown. The Perkins Award was established in 2013 to honor long-time association manager, Linda Perkins, who was the first recipient. The award is given to an individual who consistently goes above and beyond to make behind-the-scenes contributions to the field of court administration and their court.
Brown is an attorney, mediation trainer, and certified diversity professional. She has spearheaded and contributed to strategic planning, launched self-help initiatives, amnesty programs, and holistic juvenile justice services. She has trained attorneys, correctional professionals, and court professionals on creating a diverse and inclusive work environment, managing the multi-generational workforce, creating pipelines for diverse talents, and measuring inclusion. During the pandemic she authored, “Coffee and Conversations: Inclusion and Belonging,” sharing personal stories to inspire leaders to make inclusion actionable.
