WSGNA Distinguished Service Award
WSGNA is always proud to honor the hard work and dedication of our members. Starting in 2019, because there have been no applicants since 2012, the Distinguished Service Award that honored the memory of one of our founding Board members, Sharon Worzalla, is no longer going to be awarded. The rest of this page is archived for historical purposes. Thank you!
Sharon recognized the value and importance of her professional organization in her life. She dedicated her time and talent to serving WSGNA and her GI colleagues by her example of leadership, professionalism, and commitment to share her knowledge and skills. She helped lead the way to make WSGNA the vibrant organization it is today.
