In 2010, Rod Cardinale, Jr., as President of SCCoLPA, instituted a tradition of giving a President’s Award to a deserving SCCoLPA member who, during the course of the previous year, had made a significant contribution, in the President’s opinion alone, to the President, to SCCoLPA, or both. In 2014, SCCoLPA’s membership voted to rename the annual award to the Rod Cardinale, Jr., President’s Award.
