Dave Hinkle Memorial Award

The North Carolina Region AACA adopted the Dave Hinkle Memorial Award on January 16, 1971. The award is presented annually at the January Business meeting to recognize the Region’s most outstanding member. The winner’s name is engraved on a permanent trophy that is displayed at the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. The recipient receives a small wall plaque as a lasting memento.

 

(A.) BALLOTS

The current President and one previous recipient of the award or a past or present Region officer count the ballots.

 

(B.) NOMINATION PERIOD

Nominations should be mailed to the Current Region President each year beginning November 1. All nominations should be received no later than January 1.

 

(C.) NOMINATIONS

All Region members except the Current President are eligible for nomination.

 

(D.) TROPHY

The permanent trophy is stored at the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. Each year the recipient’s name and date will be engraved on the permanent trophy.

 

(E.) VOTING

Each individual signature on a nomination petition count as one vote. Only Region members in good standing may vote.

This trophy is awarded in memory of Dave Hinkle who was one of the Region’s first members and President in 1957 and then again in 1964 & 1965. Dave Hinkle was very active in all aspects in the North Carolina Region. It was through his time and efforts that memberships more than doubled, the Region started taking in chapters, and hosted its first National meet in Chapel Hill in 1970. When Dave Hinkle was stricken with cancer, his love for the North Carolina Region and the AACA did not falter; he was still “active until his death. The Region, wanting to keep that spirit alive which Dave Hinkle started, established the memorial award to be given to any Region member, except the current President, who shows that same spirit. The first recipient was J. D Foust of Raleigh, chairperson of the National meet in Chapel Hill. Flo Hinkle, Dave’s widow, and William Hinkle, his son, presented the first award at the January business meeting held in Greensboro, NC.
