For quite a few years now the Finger Lakes BMW Club has presented an award (known as the Annual Medallion) to a deserving member of the Club. The criteria is that the award should be bestowed upon the member who has "done the most" for the Club and for motorcycling in general in the past year. The winner is chosen by secret ballots cast by club members present at a meeting, or more recently at the annual banquet, and the award is then presented at the banquet.
Here then is the list of all the past winners:
