Hello SAH members.
Winter is a time for planning, and that’s what we’ve been doing at the SAH. While there is no big news to report this month, committees are being restructured, revisited, and renewed to make the organization run more efficiently and better serve its members. Award nominations are being received in anticipation of the grand banquet in the fall. Events are being organized with announcements coming soon. The Board of Directors appreciates your patience as we make changes to improve the SAH’s operation and communications.
There is still a need for volunteers. If you have special talents or interests we invite you to become involved with one of the SAH’s many committees. We are particularly looking for those with experience in finance, social media, design, or digital communications. Open positions are included at the end of this newsletter.
Also, don’t forget that nominations for the Benz, Bradley, Brigham, Cugnot-English, Cugnot-LOE, Friend of Automotive History, and Ingersoll Awards close April 15, 2026. Winners will be recognized at the annual SAH Awards Banquet in Flint, Michigan on September 19, 2026. Submission requirements as well as additional information can be found here.
