FAYE LYKSETT AWARD

The Faye Lyksett Award, first given posthumously in 1959, is presented at the LWVSP Annual Meeting to a member who has demonstrated outstanding service to the League and the community for which she has not received public recognition.  

The award was created to recognize a member who, like Faye Lyksett, has demonstrated devoted service, performance excellence and enthusiasm about the League for many years.  This recognition is not meant to be a “Leaguer of the Year” award, but it is given to a member who embodies Faye Lyksett’s qualities. 

Selection Criteria

  • Service to the League program, purpose, organization and membership
  • Length of service
  • Diversification of Activity
  • Responsiveness to assist where needed
  • Public relations within the community

Lyksett Committee

Past award winners often continue their great work on the Lyksett Committee, which often raises funds for the organization.
