Kenneth A. Stonex Award The Kenneth A. Stonex Roadside Safety Award was established in 1991 to recognize lifetime contributions to roadside safety. It was originally sponsored by General Motors and was named for Ken Stonex, a GM employee who was a pioneer for roadside safety long before the seriousness of ran-off-road crashes was recognized by most transportation agencies. GM ended its support for this award several years ago and AFB20 has been able to continue to present the award annually to a deserving individual because of the support and sponsorship of several companies who have been very active in our committee’s activities. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize these folks and thank them for their continued support: TRC, Inc. Energy Absorption Systems, Inc. Trinity Industries Transpo Industries Barrier Systems, Inc. PAST RECIPIENTS OF KENNETH A. STONEX AWARD 2012 Dr. Malcolm Ray (Roadsafe LLC)
