According to the NHLRA, the awards recognize individuals who have achieved significant success and growth in their establishments; who have supported the industry and its concerns on national, state or local levels; who have provided opportunities for growth for their personnel; who set the standard for customer service; and who embody the spirit of hospitality.

"I am humbled to accept this prestigious honor from our state's leading hospitality association," Carol Lawrence-Erickson said in response to the award. "I began my hospitality journey working at our family's restaurant Belmont Hall so I have transferred so much of that family atmosphere and comradery to the Red Arrow Diner. For this reason, this award is really a testament to all of our employees and what we have accomplished over the years together, side by side. I am extremely grateful to be included among this year's honorees, all of whom I truly admire."

Among her many charitable interests, Carol and the Red Arrow Diner are avid supporters of the annual Tower of Toys holiday fundraiser, Make-A-Wish NH, and Perkins School for the Blind.
