  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hugh Bingham as 
the recipient of the Moore County Man of the Year Award.
  The Man of the Year Award is a prestigious honor presented annually 
by the Moore County Community Foundation to individuals that have 
impacted Moore County through charitable works and community service. 
As Executive Vice President of First Bank, Mr. Bingham oversees 21 
branches that cover 9 counties and has been a staple in many civic 
organizations over the years. He has served on the boards of The O'Neal 
School, Penick Village Foundation, Sandhills Center for Entrepreneurial 
Leadership at Sandhills Community College, and St. Joseph of the Pines.
  In addition to this important work, Mr. Bingham served as the United 
Way Campaign Chair from 2018 to 2019 and is a former President of the 
Moore County Community Foundation. A proud father and grandfather, he 
attends Southern Pines United Methodist Church with his wife, Jill Ward 
Bingham.
  Mr. Bingham has made an immeasurable impact on our community and is 
deserving of this distinction. I would like to offer my sincerest 
appreciation and wish him success as he continues to serve our 
community.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Hugh Bingham for his 
service to our community and being named the Moore County Man of the 
Year.
