About the Frankel Fiduciary Prize
The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard established the Frankel Fiduciary Prize to honor individuals who advance fiduciary principles. The Frankel Fiduciary Prize will be awarded annually to a person who has made significant contributions to the preservation and advancement of fiduciary principles in public life. The prize is named after Professor Tamar Frankel of the Boston University School of Law. The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard announced the Frankel Fiduciary Prize Symposium and the host committee will honor Robert A. G. Monks, the first Frankel honoree, at a Symposium in Washington on December 10.
