CCofNA Awards
At the Citroen Club of North America’s year 2000 annual meeting Brad Nauss of Brad Nauss Automotive started an annual award that he has presented to club members ever since. This award is to a club member who has been of great benefit to the Citroën marque in the U.S.A. The award is a very nice plaque with a “double chevron” on it and is called the Lifetime Achievement Award . This award is decided by the amount of nominations from club members that the person receives throughout the year.

Dave was president of the club from 1993 to 1996. Over the years Dave wrote many “ar-tickles” for the newsletter. Some of the more famous titles were:
- See Thru 2CV
- Mobile Flower Pot
- Garage- Breaking a New Citroën
