The late Ann Salpas was a dedicated member of Footlighters who believed that all its activities, no matter how small or insignificant, were worthy of one's best efforts. She contributed her expertise and abilities to accomplish many things for Footlighters. Her efforts were so appreciated that an award was created in her name to honor those who exhibited the same dedicated unselfishness to Footlighters. The award is conferred by the Board of Directors and is made only when a candidate is found worthy of consideration.
