The award is named after the late mentor of United States Coordinator for International Men’s Day, Diane A. Sears.

Ms. Sears credits Mr. Henry with dramatically and positively influencing her professional and personal development. Mr. Henry died unexpectedly in 1999 without having an opportunity to fully develop his vision for the world – IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® -- a vision that Ms. Sears, his mentee, has worked to resurrect for the past 18 years in her role as the Managing Editor of IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD®, an international quarterly Fatherhood and Men’s Issues Journal. Mr. Henry is the architect of IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® which facilitates a Global Fatherhood and Men’s Issues Dialogue (http://globalfatherhooddialogue.blogspot.com). A mentor, an author, photojournalist, classically trained musician who played briefly with the Philadelphia Orchestra and was a former drummer for internationally acclaimed songstress and film and television actress, the late Ms. Della Reese, and a sales and success motivation trainer, Mr. Henry envisioned a world in which Men from all Walks of Life would support each other, work together, and share information and solutions about their unique issues – issues which are directly and indirectly related to parenting from a male perspective.
