The NC Region has established recognition awards which are given annually to NC Region members for personal contributions to the region and for vehicle excellence awards. The awards are named for past key NC Region members. Large award trophies with the winners 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 the following year.
