A Tribute to Naomi Henderson
The Naomi Henderson Legacy Awards
The Awards celebrate two of Naomi’s loves: the art of teaching and helping upskill people on how to moderate qualitative research whether through RIVA, at events and webinars, and on university campuses. If you had a question, Naomi was known to make herself available.
With the Naomi Henderson Legacy Awards, Insights Association, QRCA and RIVA Market Research and Training Institute seek to support the next Naomi Hendersons now and future.
