Maryanne Pflug Spirit Award
Presented each year since 2003, this award honors the memory of a much-loved and cherished former QRCA member and her contributions to QRCA.
The Maryanne Pflug Spirit Award upholds and celebrates QRCA’s cultural heritage of collegiality among members and commitment to the organization, and is awarded to a member who demonstrates "spirit” in the association. The recipient is selected by a committee of former recipients, and the committee welcomes QRCA members to nominate another member for the award.
The award is a large, laser engraved martini glass, in honor of Maryanne’s favorite beverage.
Please take a moment to think about a QRCA member who exhibits the qualities and characteristics that Maryanne embodied: friendliness, creativity, commitment to QRCA, leadership, optimism, humor, mentorship, a passion for life, and unconditional positive regard for all.
