Glen R. Page Distinguished Service Award

2017 Winner Milton Lagasse

The Glen R. Page Distinguished Service Award is presented to a person who has given ongoing support of the PIA of Tennessee. It is named after our beloved Past President and Past National Director, who became affectionately known as “Mr. PIA.” There is no formal criteria for the award, except that the nominee has shown such dedication and devotion to the association as to be recognized as a true “friend” of the association, continually contributing to the organization in such a way that is far above the standard service and call of duty. It is similar to a “lifetime achievement award” in the level of recognition. A nomination is made to the Executive Director, outlining the reasons the person nominated is deserving of the recognition. Only one recipient may be presented the award each year. This is not necessarily an ongoing or annual award, and is only presented when appropriate.
