Named in 1995 to honor devoted CACRAO member, Charlie Hendricks, this award recognizes individuals who go “beyond the call of duty for CACRAO.” They give freely of their time to support the Association through volunteering, completing tasks no one else wants, and rarely receive the credit they deserve. Nominees must not be current members of the Executive Board, and have been a member for five or more years.
Previously, this award was titled the "Award of Excellence". It was renamed in 2017 to honor beloved CACRAO member, Chris Murphy. This award is presented each year to an outstanding member who has made major contributions to CACRAO, its member institutions, and higher education in North and South Carolina.
Individuals who have served CACRAO for ten or more years and have made a lasting impact through their efforts as an as an officer, committee member, or participant in the profession may receive Honorary Membership upon retirement or changing of professions.
Named in 2017 to honor admired CACRAO member, Myron Burney. This award is given to an individual who has been a member of CACRAO from 1 to 5 years and has progressively served the association through committee membership, participation at the annual conference, and/or served as an officer.
