The Richard Nixon Memorial Service Award for Association members was established in May of 2004 and is presented annually to the deejay or deejays who have performed outstanding service other than deejay service for any group or entity encompassing the shag dance community or the shag and beach music community at large. The award is intended to honor the memory of one of our first shag deejays who resided at North Myrtle Beach for many years and who was tireless in his efforts and service to various charities and organizations in the Carolinas. Criteria for nomination and selection for this award can be found in our Association By-Laws, item number 12.
