Anyone can make a nomination in any of the above categories, except the L. Gale Allen President’s Leadership Award. This category is reserved as an exclusive decision of the TASA President.
The winner in each award’s category will receive an award package that will consist of: 4 tickets to the awards banquet (one for the recipient and 3 for their guests); the winner will receive 2 nights stay in the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg; the winner may attend the TASA Mid-Winter conference free of charge and will receive a $100.00 prize (except Service Award), along with a crystal trophy.
