The Richard Laymon President's Award for Service was instituted in 2000 and is named in honor of Richard Laymon, who died in 2000 while serving as HWA's President. As its name implies, it is given by HWA's sitting President.
The award is presented to a volunteer who has served HWA in an especially examplary manner and has shown extraordinary dedication to the organization.
HWA's current President Rocky Wood has chosen Michael Colangelo to receive the 2010 Richard Laymon Award. Michael serves as HWA's Membership Chairman, overseeing applications of both new members and of upgrades for current members. "Michael Colangelo soldiers away every week working almost invisibly to keep the turnstiles to the park that is HWA open," President Wood said in regards to his choice for the 2010 Award. "Dealing with new member applications and verifying membership levels for those new members is far from glamorous but also absolutely vital and Michael completes the task with a suitably diplomatic hand. For that I as President and our entire membership show our respect by bestowing the Richard Laymon Award."
Past winners of the Richard Laymon Award include Kathy Ptacek, Judi Rohrig, Lee Thomas, Lisa Morton, Stephen Dorato, Christopher Fulbright, Mark Worthen, John R. Little, and Vince A. Liaguno.
Note: The conference and the awards banquet are open to the public.
