Award Descriptions
–Perry Hines Official of the Year Award – Perry Hines lived in Portland Oregon until 2013. He officiated at the Sectional and Professional level for many years. Perry was admired by all his colleagues nationwide for his professionalism as an Official and a leader in the PNW Section. He was dedicated to recruiting, training and mentoring many officials in our small Section. Past recipients of this award have also shown the same dedication and service in our section.
–Mike Robb Rookie of the Year Award – Mike Robb lived in the Seattle area until 2005. Mike was respected as an official in our Section and on the national level for his ability to be positive and fair. He loved the game of tennis and shared it through coaching high school players, as a player and officiating. This award has traditionally gone to a newer Official who understands the importance of being a positive resource for players as an official.

Thank you all again for your support in the PNW Section,
Denise Alexander
