William Hudson, 2026 president of IFWEF, received the 2023 Edgar Lee Hewett Award—for outstanding service to the people of New Mexico, as related to New Mexico History.
Edgar Lee Hewett began his professional life as an educator, and in 1898 he was appointed president of New Mexico Normal University (Highlands.) Soon after, archaeology became his principal interest, bringing him worldwide recognition for his investigations on the Pajarito Plateau and elsewhere. Hewett is remembered as a founder of both the Museum of New Mexico and what became the School of American Research. Largely as a result of his efforts, federal officials established Bandelier National Monument in 1916.
Now president of IFWEF (2026)
