Inspired by well-known author Mark Sanborn, the award is named in honor of Fred Shea, the subject of Sanborn’s national bestseller — The Fred Factor.

The award is given to one who embodies the four principles described in the book — an individual who chooses to make a positive difference each day, has a heart for people, changes ordinary moments into memorable ones and leads by example.
