Volunteer Contributor Awards

Judith Kolberg Award

In 2012, the once-named “Highlighter Award” was officially changed to the “Judith Kolberg Award.” Judith founded ICD (originally named the National Study Group for Chronic Disorganization) in 1989. She is a pioneer in the field of organization as it relates to those affected by chronic disorganization.

Judith’s innovative methods and strategies have provided organizing breakthroughs for adults with ADHD, chronic disorganization, and compulsive hoarding behavior. She is also the author of several books.

The Judith Kolberg Award recognizes individuals who have made a significant contribution to the field of study in chronic disorganization. This is not necessarily an annual award.
