For those members who are not familiar with who Emile L. Morvant was, the following is a brief synopsis:

Mr. Morvant served as President of P.M.A.G.N.O. (now called NAPM-GNO) from 1940-41. He was employed by Southland Sugars. He and his company supported the Association even to the point of direct financial support during World War II. He was a very active member who required the utmost professionalism of everyone. His contributions allow us today to continue to benefit from this organization which has been in existence since 1924.

The Emile L. Morvant award is presented at the Former President's meeting in June.
