Don Hansen Award Criteria
The Don Hansen Award is an award created in honor of Donald Hansen, a court reporter from Ingham County, who loved this Association and worked long and hard on its behalf. The decade of the 70’s is replete with remarks about Don Hansen and by Don Hansen on the work he had done with legislators of our state on the behalf of court reporters. He was a one-man firehouse. He did it all. Don died of cancer on January 10, 1979, and the first person to receive his award was Marguerite Holcomb, on October 16, 1981.
This award is to be given to those members of our association who have given of themselves above and beyond what is normally expected of even a dedicated member. This award is not given lightly, it is given with reverence and respect to those who deserve it.
