POLLY HUNTER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Polly Hunter was a charter member of the 1958 Greene County Legal Secretaries Association, now known as the Springfield Area Legal Support Professionals. Miss Polly was a chapter leader who provided wisdom, leadership, and devoted service to the association and to the Springfield, Greene County legal community for many, many years. Her knowledge, guidance, and wit are missed by many and this annual award is given in her honor.
