For many years, Mike Maione was a member of, and friend to, The Lincoln Group.  But more than that, Mike Maione was a Lincoln scholar.  It is fair to say that Abraham Lincoln was his passion.  He studied what was known about Lincoln, researched what was not know about Lincoln, and learned what he could from Lincoln.  Mike also shared his encyclopedic knowledge about Lincoln with any and all who were interested, and with some who were not so interested, but who could not resist the shear force of Mike's exuberance.

The Lincoln Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Lincoln Group for contributions to Lincoln studies and/or the Lincoln Group of the District of Columbia, Inc. The Lincoln Award was created in 1996, and is presented each May at The Annual Mike Maione Lecture and Lincoln Award presentation.
