Air Force Association Recognized For Achievement in Aerospace Education

The Air Force Association has been selected to receive the National Coalition for Aviation and Space Education (NCASE) 2010 Crown Circle Award in recognition of their outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace education. The award will be presented at this year’s EAA AirVenture Teacher Day on July 26, 2010, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Crown Circle Award was established in 1979 to recognize performance and outstanding leadership in aerospace education. The award is one of the highest honors available in aerospace education. Those seeking this honor must demonstrate involvement in and commitment to aerospace education as a local, national, or international leader in aerospace education. Their performance must exhibit high quality over an extended period of time. Induction may also be the result of exceptionally unique or extraordinarily outstanding achievement or contributions in aerospace education.

AFA has supported and been a leader in Aerospace Education since inception in 1946. AFA has continued this long tradition by initiating three exciting new aerospace education activities: the Billy Mitchell Institute for Airpower Studies, the Elementary STEM Orientation Program, and CyberPatriot, the National High School Cyber Defense competition.
