The John Fisher Turnbull Lifetime Achievement Award was giving to Katherine Turnbull at the 2025 AGM in Stone Mountain, GA. Katherine Turnbull has long been a steady and generous force within TCA - always ready to serve, always promoting our shared heritage, and always doing so with grace, enthusiasm, and quiet strength. Her leadership and heartfelt dedication have touched countless members across the years.
From meticulously planning heritage trips to Scotland, to welcoming visitors at clan tents across the country - especially at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games - Katherine’s spirit and passion shine brightly. Most recently, her tireless efforts and organizational skill played a vital role in the success of the Bedrule Kirk fundraiser, helping to ensure the preservation of an important part of Turnbull history.
“It is both a privilege and a joy to honor her with this lifetime achievement award,” said Jeff Trimble, TCA President, during the presentation.
