Founders Day 2010 Nora Heitmann, 2010 March 4

The Ammi Hyde Award for Recent Graduate Achievement was given to Nora Heitmann (BA ’00). Recipients of this award, first presented in 1993, must have earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Denver in the previous 10 years and demonstrated professional achievement. Heitmann, a new accounts manager for Denver-based Forward Logistics Group, is consistently the company’s top-ranked salesperson — a feat made all the more impressive by the fact that she has been working just two days a week after returning from maternity leave in winter 2008. Heitmann also has served DU as part of the Alumni Council, the Founder’s Day Selection Committee, the Alumni Advisory Board and the Mile High Alumni Chapter.
