He was named Township Legislator of the Year twice by the North Dakota Township Officers Association and was named EMS Legislator of the Year twice by the North Dakota Emergency Medical Services Association. Weisz received a fellowship to the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development in 1999 and a Henry Toll Fellowship from the Council of State Governments in 2006. He has served as a township supervisor for many years and is currently chair of the Lynn Township Board.

The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes an individual who has had a distinguished career in a transportation-related field.
