Mac Spears Award

Mac Spears Founder's AwardThe Mac Spears Founder’s Award was inaugurated in 1994 to recognize persons who have made, or continue to make, a significant contribution to the MG community, especially as it pertains to MGAs. Mac Spears was a founding member of NAMGAR in 1975.

The Board, through the columns in MGA! magazine, asks for nominations to be considered for this award. It is not necessarily given every year, nor do the recipients have to be a member of NAMGAR.

If you have an idea for a worthy recipient, watch out for the announcement from the Chairman on how to submit a nomination. Awards decided by the Board are presented at the next GT.
