Award Background

This award was created in 2001 to honor Lorin Pollmann. Lorin was a charter member of the Hutchinson II Toastmasters Club, who from the very start was very active in the District. He was named Area Governor of the Year for 1985-86 and Toastmaster of the Year in 1988. Lorin's service outside the Club included: District Public Relations Officer, District Treasurer, Credentials Chair, and Achievement Though Education Chair among many others. From 1996 until he passed away in 2000 Lorin served the District as Speechcraft Chair where he promoted Speechcraft as both an educational tool and club growth opportunity for Toastmasters.
