Robert
C. Lechner
The Northside Businessmen’s Club has never been a political club and will never endorse a person running for office. However, it does have a great concern for good government and its elected officials. In 1979 the Board voted, and the membership concurred, to give an award each year to the most outstanding elected official in Duval County. This award is known as The Robert C. Lechner Award, honoring the Club’s first President. In 1980, the first recipient of the award was The Honorable David Harrell, President of The Jacksonville City Council. Mr. Lechner did not want this award to be an expense to the Club, so he gave the Club $1,000 to be invested in a special interest account. Each year, the income from this account, will be used to pay the award. This award is to be continued each year, in perpetuity, as long as the Club exists. If for any reason the Club should stop giving the award, the $1,000 will go to the Shriner's Crippled Children’s Hospital Fund. Selection of the recipient is to be made by a committee of no less than five members appointed each year by the President. 2009
