        HONORING DAVID WORONOFF AS MOORE COUNTY MAN OF THE YEAR

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 25, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. David 
Woronoff 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 president and publisher of The Pilot since 1996, Mr. Woronoff has 
expanded and transformed the newspaper from a community publication 
into a statewide media company with multiple regional publications. The 
Pilot has earned many accolades and honors under his direction, 
including multiple distinctions as the nation's best community 
newspaper and the N.C. Press Association's top general excellence award 
in a division of the largest community newspapers. He currently serves 
on the board of directors for UNC's School of Media and Journalism and 
the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. Perhaps most 
impressively, he was named the president of the North Carolina Press 
Association in 2010 and inducted into the North Carolina Journalism 
Hall of Fame in 2019.
  In addition to this important work, Mr. Woronoff also worked as a 
reporter for Business North Carolina magazine before eventually 
becoming its director of business development. He currently serves on 
the board of directors for numerous associations and foundations across 
North Carolina, including the UNC Press Foundation and the Sandhills 
Community College Foundation. His previous leadership roles with the 
Moore County Chamber of Commerce, the North Carolina Chamber of 
Commerce, FirstHealth of the Carolinas, and The Moore County United Way 
are further examples of his work as an active leader in our community. 
In recognition of his successful and accomplished track record, he was 
awarded both the United Way of Moore County's Cornerstone Award in 2008 
and the Kiwanis Club of the Sandhills' Builders Cup Award in 2015.
  Mr. Woronoff has made an immeasurable impact on our community and is 
deserving of the Moore County Man of the Year Award. 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 Mr. David Woronoff 
for his service to our community and being named the Moore County Man 
of the Year.
