ted moses high hat AwardsThe Ted Moses High Hat Award is given by PWEA in honor of Ted Moses, the first Secretary of the Association. This is a service award given to members who have distinguished themselves while working to promote the Association and its programs.

The original high hat, purchased in a Philadelphia pawn shop in 1935, is the Association’s most prized and priceless possession. The names of past recipients are lettered upon the hat, and the annual ceremony accompanying the presentation of this award has become a tradition at the PWEA Annual Dinner & Awards Ceremony. Because the original high hat had no additional space for names of award recipients, Ned and Marti Sams purchased another high hat. The Sams graciously donated this second hat to the Association so that names of future award recipients will also appear on a high hat.
