The NC Region has established recognition awards given annually to NC Region members for personal contributions to the region and for vehicle excellence. The awards are named for past key NC Region members. Large permanent trophies with the winner’s names are kept at the NC Transportation Museum located in Spencer, NC. Award recognition is presented for all awards at the NC Region Annual meeting in January of the following year.
Note: In 2020 the Covid-19 Virus restrictions prevented having the NC Region Spring Meet. Therefore some awards were not given.
