2015 WASPY Award Nominations

It’s that time of year again to start thinking about those individuals who go the extra mile, yet they never seem to receive the recognition they deserve. 

IT’S WASPY TIME!

This year’s categories incorporate both our core values and our annual report theme. Hoping to identify more people within our community who “fly under the radar” individuals may nominate 1 person per category from each of our 7 regions.  Although you may, you do not have to nominate a person for each category or region.
