The Quiet Woman Award was established in 1984, to be presented to that member who quietly contributed many hours, in many areas, to the benefit of the chapter and its members. The recipient of this award will exemplify all that is best in volunteerism – willingness to accept most any assignment, cheerfulness, self-effacement and who serves with compassion and contributes many hours over and above the requirements established by the chapter.

Glee Heikes – Awarded May 11, 2015
This Assistance League National Award is named for the co-founder of Assistance League, a woman who was less visible, but filled the role of hardworking, behind-the-scenes assistant to the founder, Ann Banning. It is in the spirit of Ada’s less visible and hardworking “behind-the-scenes” involvement that an Ada Edwards Laughlin Award was created. It is given to a chapter’s unsung heroine who has been a member for a significant number of years, having given outstanding “behind-the-scenes” service in a relatively inconspicuous way. We are pleased that one of our members was a recipient of this award.
