Rollie Williams Memorial Award

Rollie Williams was an active ski enthusiast who was a big part of organizing and heading up the Indiana State Water ski Club.  The Indiana Water Ski Association  presents the Rollie Williams Memorial Award to an outstanding member of the Indiana State Ski Club. The award recipient is selected by a substantial majority of past award recipients desiring to be active in the selection process and willing to support the tradition that the award recipient remains undisclosed until the presentation is made at the Saturday evening banquet during the Indiana State Championships.
