Auburn Citizen of the Year

In 1974, the ABA began a tradition of honoring an outstanding person in the community for business and community service.  Originally called "Man of the Year", it evolved into "Citizen of the Year" when Lee Young received it in 1981. Residency in Auburn is not required, only that the person has business and/or service activities in Auburn.
