Following his passing in 2001, the Lars Fossberg Award was created by Lars' family in remembrance of a remarkable man and to acknowledge and encourage the younger up and coming people in our industry who exhibit the attributes and passion that was Lars. The idea for this award orginated with Lars' grandchildren. Hildur's daughter Helen felt very strongly that there should be some way to remember her beloved "bestefor" (Norwegian for grandfather). Hildur's son Steven participated by making the wooden base for the first award.
This award will be presented annually to the manager or supervisor who shows a high degree of initiative and creativity together with the ability to improvise when dealing with the unexpected.
