The Floyd Walker Incredible Award is reserved for KC IABC volunteers who go above and beyond the call of duty in serving the chapter. In 2002, the award was renamed to honor the late Floyd Walker for his sustained contributions to the chapter. The award recognizes members whose service and commitment are “too extraordinary to believe.”
