Hazel Tanis Award

The Hazel Tanis Award is presented at each Winter Banquet to honor a non – athlete member of the POSA family for outstanding service to the association. Hazel Tanis herself once gave such outstanding service and dedication to POSA. Her devoted family chose to contribute a memorial to this, her favorite organization.
