The June McLean Service Award, which is in memory of June McLean, 1975 LAL Treasurer, will be awarded each year to an adult or a married couple. The purpose of the award is to recognize those people who have made significant contributions to the LAL.

The Terri Proffitt Award for Excellence in Officiating will be awarded to one adult each year.
