This award is sponsored by GM Associates in honor of their former employee John J. Hauer. The first of these awards will be presented at the 2015 symposium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This award was first named the Kermit Fischer Award, sponsored by Lab-Crest Scientific Division of the Fischer & Porter Company in honor of its founder. The first of these awards was presented at the 21st Symposium in Chicago, Illinois, June 1976. The award was then sponsored by the Andrews Glass Company as the Andrews Glass Award. The name was then changed to the Dennis Courtney Award in honor of Andrews Glass Company’s founder.
The John J. Hauer Award is for outstanding technical paper presentation at an American Scientific Glassblowers Society Symposium. The presenter is awarded a commemorative plaque and a check for $200.
