The Harry Hoile Award, named after the first Governor of the District, is presented annually at the District 7 Spring Convention.

The Harry Hoile Former Governor’s Award was established in April 1991. It is presented to the Chairman (Immediate Past Governor) one year after they have left office (traditionally the same year they rotate off the Board of Directors). The purpose of the award is to recognize the work the recipient has done in his/her year as Governor, as well as recap the many contributions made to the District and home club. It is presented by the Immediate Past Chairman (Winners Chairman).

The award, a large plaque, is paid for by the District Awards and Gifts budget. The presenter secures and engraves the plaque or trophy. It shall not be the responsibility of the District to prepare or fund a video on the recipient. The presenter shall notify the recipient’s home club of the upcoming presentation, and the home club may, at its expense, have the option to prepare a video, not to exceed five (5) minutes in length. If a video is not prepared by the home club, a verbal presentation of the recipient’s accomplishments shall be given by the presenter.
