Rosalie Schlegelmilch Past President’s Award
This award is named in honor of the first President of ArSHA, Rosalie Schlegelmilch (1965-1966). At that time, and for many years thereafter the President served for a one-year term. As the needs of the Association grew, it became apparent that it was essential that a smoother transition to the Presidency was necessary. To accommodate this change, the President now serves a 3-year term: President Elect, President and Past President. This change in the Executive Board has served the membership well. To honor those members who serve in this capacity.
