Each November since his passing in 2002, the Leonard Tim Hector Memorial Society has  marked the passing of this great Antiguan and Barbudan newspaper man with a week of activities including lectures, an exhibition, and the awarding of an outstanding Antiguan/Barbudan.

Artist Sir Reginald Samuel is one of the recipients of the Leonard Tim Hector annual award

Friend, Conrad Luke, wrote of him: “A man of indefatigable energy …One could essentially sum up Tim Hector with the phrase “out of one – many” – Journalist, Educator, Sports Administrator, Political Activist and Intellectual – indeed a multi-faceted person.”
