Dear TOA Membership,

As we drift into Fall, we are excited to celebrate those Officials who stood up, stood out, and had a breakthrough year in Tennis Officiating.

Award Nominations: This year, we are asking the entire membership to nominate deserving fellow officials for these two awards:
Perry Hines Official of the Year – Perry Hines was a beloved PNW Official who was a friend, a mentor, and an icon to tennis officials throughout the USA. His namesake award is the PNWTOA’s annual recognition of a member who has demonstrated general excellence in officiating.
Mike Robb Rookie of the Year – This is the PNWTOA’s annual award to recognize a newly certified official for outstanding performance in the first stage of an officiating career.

Please submit your nominations for both of these awards by replying to this email. THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS IS TUESDAY OCT 3, 2023. For the Perry Hines or Mike Robb awards, please consider nominees from the Fall of 2022 – Fall of 2023 work period reflecting our newest certification cycle. Based on your nominations, the PNWTOA Board will select candidates for the Perry Hines and Mike Robb awards at our next meeting on Oct 4.  The membership will vote for the winners over the following month and the results will be announced at the November Board meeting.

Thank you all for your support,
Denise Alexander
TOA Awards Chairperson
