TEHCC Awards  

The TEHCC honors its outstanding members with four different awards.  These awards are to recognize exemplary service and active involvement in the club. 

Stan Murray Award

The TEHCC honors members from time to time for particularly meritorious service to the club.  This is the most prestigious of all club awards.  The award honors Stanley Murray.  Murray was one of the initial members of the TEHCC, served as chairman of Appalachian Trail Conference Board and founded the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy.
