Professional of the Year Awards Banquet

This annual awards banquet provides an opportunity for member societies to recognize publicly the exceptional professionalism and achievements of two of their members by selecting them for their Professional of the Year Award and the Young Professional of the Year Award. A HATS Selection Board then selects one society professional from from each category for special recognition.


The Joseph P. Moquin Award is given to the HATS Professional of the Year.


The Bill Roark Award is given to the HATS Young Professional of the Year.


The Society of the Year is given to the HATS member Society of the Year


Each Member Organization also submits a nomination for the HATS Society of the Year (SOY), and the Selection Committee selects one of the Societies as the recipient of the HATS SOY Award.
