The Association of Private Enterprise Education (APEE) recognized Kim Holder of the University of West Georgia’s Richards College of Business and Scott Niederjohn of Concordia University Wisconsin with its Clark-Kent-Aronoff Award on April 8, 2024, at the Association’s 48th meeting held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Clark-Kent-Aronoff Service Award honors and recognizes a member of APEE who, over a sustained and continuous period of time, has given unselfishly to the growth and perpetuation of the organization. 

Recipients of the Clark-Kent-Aronoff Service Award have made the personal sacrifices of their time and talent to see that the organization continues to flourish. Such recipients serve both as a beacon and a harbor for those who seek to better understand and explain the market economy and the system of entrepreneurship that is integral to it.

For several years, Holder and Niederjohn have organized the International Conference on Teaching Economics, hosted as part of the APEE Annual Meeting, which each year attracts dozens of economic educators and scholars to share teaching techniques and original research focused on economic education.
