Announcing The George & Dorothy Walton Award 2019-2020

Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Tuesday, October 15th, 2019

The nomination period for The George & Dorothy Walton Award is October 1st – October 31st. The Walton Award is named for George & Dorothy Walton, a couple of the American Revolution. Their relentless efforts and generous service left a lasting mark on the state of Georgia and, more locally, the CSRA-area. They were lifelong public servants who humbly served their community, seeking no recognition or praise.

AP Wealth Management presents this award annually to a CSRA-area couple who exemplify the legacy and values of George and Dorothy Walton. The award is presented in February to the winning couple, who will receive a physical award and are invited to choose a 501(c)(3) organization based in and serving the CSRA to receive a substantial monetary donation given in honor of the winning couple.

The George & Dorothy Walton Award recognizes a married couple who have contributed outstanding service to our community in the spirit of George and Dorothy Walton, expressly:

  • Their lifestyle exemplifies selflessness, hospitality, courage and devotion to the nation, to community and the health of family in our culture.

  • They both have a strong public service record (together or as individuals).

  • Their lives and volunteering have a significant impact on people in our community.

Nominations are accepted from October 1st - October 31st

Winners are chosen by the George and Dorothy Walton Award Committee and selections are subject to final approval of the committee.
