HOA Timeline

- Originally, board members served one-year terms starting on our charter date, so early presidents appear in consecutive years. This was changed in 1961 to conform to the calendar year.
- HOA Awards & Honors - generally, honorees are announced at the Awards & Officer Installation Banquet held in January.
- CSD Awards & Honors - in 1990, all prior CSD award honorees were retroactively inducted into the CSD Hall of Fame. Since then, the Barbershopper of the Year is recognized at the Spring Convention for the prior year's service, and the Hall of Fame honoree is inducted at the Fall Convention.
