Peggy Haas
This award was named for our founder’s late wife, Peggy (formally Beryl E.), in appreciation for her own support of the ALPO in many meaningful and indispensable ways, from assisting her husband, Walter, with the Journal, to creating a banner that hangs in front of the rostrum at ALPO paper sessions at our annual meetings. She was also the ALPO librarian for its book-lending service from 1966 to 1985.
  The Peggy Haas Service Award

The Peggy Haas Service Award was established in 1997 to recognize members of the ALPO for outstanding service to our organization.

The current ALPO executive director solely selects the recipient for this award, which can recognize any ALPO officer, board member, volunteer staff member, or non-staff member who has contributed outstanding service to the organization in a capacity excluding observational skills; observational skills are recognized by the Walter H. Haas Award.

The Peggy Haas Service Award is not necessarily an annual award but is presented when appropriate and not at any specific time interval. The award itself consists of an engraved plaque. The awardee also receives a lifetime membership in the ALPO.
