Leadership of the Year Award
By Eric M. Todd, Esq
According to the section of our website called “Past USAWA Awards,” Each year the USAWA nominates and selects individuals for special awards. These awards are given on behalf of the USAWA for outstanding merit in several categories.” One of these categories is the Leadership award. One of the great things about these awards is that they are voted on by our membership.
This year’s leadership award goes to our president Denny Habecker. Denny is an absolute stalwart in all-round at the national and international level. He has served as our president for about 15 years. Denny has been at every national meet since 1995 as a competitor and/or official, having won the overall national championship twice. He frequently competes on the international stage as well. Denny promoted our World championship in 2021. He hosted the presidential cup, and served as our postal chairman, running all four quarterly postals. I cannot tell you how many times he has driven from Pennsylvania to God’s country to support my meets. Well deserved, and a huge congrats to our leadership award winner, Denny Habecker!
The runner up in the leadership goes to your humble author, and Secretary/Treasurer.
