The Charley Hunt Award

Charley was a founding member and president of the KSONS and a guiding force behind our early successes. He was instrumental in bringing the 1991 National NTRAK Convention to Louisville, and also helped organize the 1995 Great lakes Region NTRAK Convention. But far more than that, Charley was a great inspiration for all KSONS. For all that he did for us, and meant to us, we present the award that carries his name. This award is presented to a dedicated member who has made a significant contribution to the the success of the KSONS.

Congratulations to Steve Shetter for being the 2009 recipient of the Charlie Hunt award!
