The Henry Havig Award for Community Service is presented by the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks Chamber of Commerce each year to a person who provided exemplary leadership service to the community over a period of time, across a variety of community activities. The award is considered the highest honor a person from the Greater Grand Forks area can receive for community service. The award is named after Henry Havig, who was born in Cooperstown in 1908. The March 1970 issue of UND’s Alumni Review described him as “one of the county’s outstanding civic leaders.”
