The Pennsylvania Society honored C.F. “Chris” Martin IV, Executive Chairman of C.F. Martin & Co., with its prestigious Distinguished Citizen of the Commonwealth award during the Society’s Annual Meeting held April 3, 2025, at the Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The award recognized Martin’s outstanding leadership, commitment to innovation, and dedication to philanthropy throughout his storied career.

The Distinguished Citizen of the Commonwealth award is presented to Pennsylvanians whose achievements have profoundly benefited the Commonwealth. It is not awarded annually, but only when the Society’s Council identifies a truly deserving honoree.

“We were proud to recognize Chris Martin, a sixth-generation leader of the legendary Martin Guitar company, with this distinguished honor,” said Patricia D. Wellenbach, President of The Pennsylvania Society. “Under his guidance, Martin Guitars continues to be the instrument of choice for iconic artists such as Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Neil Young, and John Mayer. Chris has ensured that this family business remains a vital part of Pennsylvania’s heritage while having a global impact on music.”

During his tenure at the helm of C.F. Martin & Co., Martin has advanced the company’s nearly two-century legacy of craftsmanship, driving innovation in guitar design, environmental responsibility, and philanthropic leadership. He championed sustainable manufacturing practices and forged meaningful collaborations with artists and organizations around the world.

Outside of his work with the company, Martin has been a longtime advocate for music education, environmental action, democratic engagement, and charitable giving. Through the Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation, he has supported initiatives in music, the arts, education, human services, and environmental sustainability.

Martin joins a distinguished list of past recipients of the award, including Princess Grace of Monaco, Justice Samuel Roberts, Lewis J. Appell, Jr., Susan Hirt Hagen, Sister Mary Scullion, and others who have left a lasting impact on Pennsylvania and beyond.
