AABPA presents the James L. Blum Award to individuals who have distinguished records of accomplishment in public budgeting, are respected leaders in the budgetary community, have significantly advanced the state of knowledge in the field, and by personal example, have set exceptionally high standards of achievement, professionalism, and ethics for all public servants.
Collender also has extensive experience on Capitol Hill and is considered to be one of the world’s leading experts on the U.S. budget and congressional budget process. He is one of only a handful of people who has worked for the House and Senate Budget Committees, and he has worked for three U.S. representatives on the House Budget and Ways and Means Committees. Collender is one of the leading experts on federal fiscal and monetary policies, Congress, and Wall Street’s response to Washington tax and spending policies. He writes the popular weekly column, “Fiscal Fitness,” in Roll Call, the influential Capitol Hill newspaper. He previously wrote “Budget Battles,” which was published weekly by nationaljournal.com for more than 10 years. He is also the founder and principal writer of “Capital Gains and Games,” which the Wall Street Journal has called one of the top 25 economic and financial blogs in the U.S. Additionally, Collender is the author of "The Guide to the Federal Budget", one of the most assigned texts on the subject, and an annual endeavor of about 200 pages from 1983 to 2000. Collender speaks to more than 100 organizations across the United States each year. He appears frequently on radio and television news programs, and is often quoted by major newspapers and magazines. He also consults frequently with Wall Street firms on federal fiscal policy and politics. He has an extensive presence on YouTube, Bloomberg, Twitter, podcasts, and more. Collender holds a bachelor’s degree in politics and psychology from New York University and a master’s degree in public policy (MPP) from the University of California, Berkeley. In the early years of Stan’s professional career, he was active with AABPA, helping coordinate events and even lending design expertise to create the AABPA logo. Since then, Stan has been a speaker at AABPA many times, sharing his famous multi-media presentations developed for top-dollar clients, and sometimes we have been his test-audience for new presentations. Even with his rise to fame and fortune, Stan has always made time for AABPA events. Many of us got our start in federal budgeting, learning from Stan at AABPA events and reading his annual guide to the federal budget. Stan showed us that budgeting is the biggest game in town, that learning about budgeting could be a lot of fun, and that it is always entertaining.
