Indiana ESA Member of the Year

From 1959 through 1967, a state ESA Girl was honored at State Convention. This outstanding member was selected from a group of chapter ESA Girls. Starting in 1960-1961, a crown for the state ESA Girl was purchased and was presented to the new ESA Girl each year. However, in 1967-1968, the Indiana State Council decided to honor all ESA Girls and not have a state winner.

From 1969 through 1976, the State President at her installation wore the crown originally purchased for the ESA Girl. This crown was “retired” in 1977, and a new one was purchased for the State President to wear. In 1987, the Indiana State Council once again decided to honor an outstanding ESA member, and the ESA Woman of the Year was started. When male members began joining Indiana ESA, the title was changed to ESA Member of the Year.
