REGION AWARDS Annually, the SCCA's Washington DC Region Board of Directors selects individuals who embody the spirit of the awards listed below. If you would like to nominate someone for one of these awards for the racing season just completed, contact a Board Member by December 5th. Please include not only the name but also the reasons you feel this person deserves the award. Nominations submitted without additional information cannot be considered. The Board will review the nominations and the winners will be announced at the region's Annual Awards Banquet.
THE DAVID ROETHEL MEMBER ACHIEVEMENT AWARD The David Roethel Member Achievement Award was donated in 1963 when he, as Regional Executive, felt that there should be recognition of members of the region (not officers or committee chairpersons), who gave unstintingly of their time and effort in contribution to the many activities sponsored by the region. This award contains the names of individuals who are some of the "unsung heroes" of the region. They have worked behind the scenes in many different capacities, frequently without recognition, to see that the programs have succeeded. Previous winners include: 2011 - Stan Damren 2010 - Kim Dixon 2009 - Bonnie Wannarka 2008 – Anne Callihan and Shelia Cockey 2007 – C. Wayne Ambrust 2006 – Lois Burleigh & Bill Hutchins 2005 – Paul Moorcones 2004 – Ian Baker 2003 – Ellen Davis 2002 – Travis Dixon 2001 – Anne Callihan, Gil Osenburg 2000 – Phil Gagner, Forrest Minor 1999 - Floyd Mills Gil Osenburg Kimberly and Ken Fitzgerald John Capen Steve Huemmer Ed York Bob Brookfield Beth Mills Bob Rivello Sue Roethel Paul Moorcones Kay Heatherley Charles Chadwick Steve Garner Jim Terwilliger Wally Hicks Stan and Shirley Wantland Michael Harrigan Mary Ann Bowers Bob Roose Te Slagle Polly Hammond Jaime Wagner John Baker Jeanne and Craig Miller Barbara Luke Grander Willie Philipesen John Weida Dave and Judy Meleney Jeanne Fletcher Lou Cook Jim Dickie Bob Ridges Bill and Agnes Van Sant Bill Brewster John Kramer Bob Page Gary Jani	THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER "MVP" AWARD The Most Valuable Player "MVP" is awarded to individual who has rendered outstanding service to the Region while acting in an official capacity. In essence, this award is intended to recognize an individual who is ineligible for the Member Achievement award. The donor of this award hoped that this "award would fill the void that exists for those hard-working individuals who are always there, who continually serve at an outstanding level, and whose only recognition is an occasional ‘Thank you’ if we think of it." Previous winners include: 2011 - Jared Lantzy 2010 - Bill Radford 2009 - Matthew Yip 2008 – Gayle S. Lorenz 2007 – Evanthe Salisbury 2006 – Kim Dixon 2005 – Bob Cage 2004 – John McCalley 2003 – Craig Garfield 2002 – Carolyn Bayer-Broring 2001 – Skip Morgridge and Sumit Punjabi 2000 – John and Beth Burkhard 1999 - Jim Harrison Sue Graves and Ernie Manzella Gayle Lorenz Don Aston Stan Wantland Ken Plesser Shirley Thompson Elaine Capen Nina Forbes Carla Heath Bob Roose Tom Balzer Sue Roethel	THE PUBLIC RELATIONS AWARD The Public Relations Award is presented annually to a person, ‘normally a driver’, who has, in the opinion of the Board of Directors has done the most to promote the Region’s activities.

The Sue Roethel Award The Sue Roethel Award for lifetime service and achievement is presented by donors, members and friends of the Washington D.C. Region acting out of admiration and affection for Sue Roethel. This trophy was presented to Sue Roethel in September 1994. The Sue Roethel Award shall be awarded from time to time to a member of the Region whose lifetime record of service to the Region reflects dedication to the Region, its members, and its programs; who is always cheerful and ready to work, regardless of the nature of the job, and who displays excellence in everything he or she undertakes for the Region. The Spirit of the Sport Award Presented in Memory of Christine Fox Chris Fox had a nearly 40 year history with the DC Region, starting as a flagger in the mid 70’s, and eventually working nearly every club racing specialty. But she was perhaps best known for her driving skills, as she competed fiercely at all levels of club racing. She was a mechanic who did most of the work on the cars she raced. She was an instructor in the Region’s drivers schools for many years. She held lap records in three classes at Summit Point: E Production, GT-5, and G Production. But mostly, Chris loved this sport, and she shared that love and enthusiasm with everyone who crossed her path. She volunteered her time, her talents, her tools, and her expertise. She believed making everyone else better made the sport better. Unfortunately, Chris took her last checker at the final MARRS event in 2010. The friends of Chris Fox have donated an award to be presented in Chris’s name to a DC Region member who best exemplifies the spirit of Chris -- her great enthusiasm, her endless generosity, her mentorship skills, her drive for excellence, and her sense of fun. These qualities represent the true Spirit of our Sport. 2011 - Bruce Shelton Other Awards Club Racing Perpetual Awards Solo Annual Awards
