Distinguished GMOA supporter C.L. Morehead received the 2010 Regents’ Hall of Fame Alumni Award on Saturday, March 20, in Atlanta. This award is given annually by the University System of Georgia (USG) Foundation.
The Regents’ Hall of Fame Award goes to "one individual from a USG institution who has distinguished him or herself through outstanding accomplishments within his or her field of endeavor and exhibits an extraordinary commitment to the institution." UGA President Michael Adams nominated Morehead for the award.
Morehead graduated from UGA in 1950 with a bachelor of science degree in agriculture. In 1959, he opened Flowers, Inc. He was a close friend of Lamar Dodd and has the largest known collection of Dodd’s work, appraised at $10 million. Morehead’s generosity is very apparent at GMOA. He has been extremely supportive of the museum’s expansion, serves on the board of advisors and sponsors numerous museum events.
