Presidents Award
Awarded in recognition of their outstanding dedication and contribution to the WSMHA
The WSMHA recognizes individuals for their contributions to this Association that went beyond even the high standards our many volunteers consistently achieve. Like any volunteer-based organization the WSMHA relies for its success on several individuals who simply show up and take care of their assigned tasks without drama or complaint.

    Jessica Ganas
    .
    As a new Board member, Jessica was asked to take on the role of managing our Rep and HL uniform and apparel suppliers at the very time that industry was experiencing world-wide supply chain difficulties. It would have been very easy to simply pass along the excuses for late or non-existent deliveries or simply throw up her hands and walk away. Instead, she worked tirelessly to solve problems where she could, including driving hundreds of miles to pick up and deliver uniforms and apparel.
