2010 Nominations for Field and Aerospace Education Excellence Awards

It is time to start the nominating procedure for National and Aerospace Education Excellence Awards for those AFA units and individuals who are deserving of such recognition. Traditional field awards and the awards for excellence in aerospace education now have a common due date and are grouped together for review by the National Awards Committee in June.

AFA Field Awards

Chapter Presidents should assure appropriate nominations are prepared and forwarded for chapter volunteers. State Presidents should consider nominations for chapter president and chapter unit awards. Region Presidents are responsible for recognition of state organizations and volunteer leadership.

Remember, units and individuals being considered for a national award should have received prior recognition in the form of chapter and/or state awards. National awards should not be the first level of recognition.

A nomination form is enclosed. Forms are also available in the “Library” section of the “Field Resources” area of the AFA web site. Make as many copies as you need, and fill in all proper information. If at all possible, please type the information on the form.

Note that the forms on the Web come two ways. One you can fill out while you’re on the Web and print out. (Be careful: you cannot save it, so plan to complete it in one session.) The other one can be downloaded as a Word document, filled out and then printed.

Please provide adequate time for the endorsement of nominations and receipt at AFA national headquarters. No nomination will be considered without all proper endorsements. Endorsements should be forwarded to AFA, c/o Membership Operations. Endorsed nominations for national awards received after May 14 will not be considered. It is essential that all nominations use the AFA form enclosed or downloaded from the Web.

Awards for Aerospace Excellence

This is a reminder that nominations for Aerospace Excellence Awards are due no later than May 14th. The Awards for Aerospace Education Excellence were established to recognize sustained excellence in the execution of aerospace education programs. The program is two-tiered: the first tier is the Aerospace Education Achievement Award and the second tier is the Aerospace Education Excellence Award. Both awards are self-nominated. Applications are available at http://www.afa.org/members/awds_aero_ed_excell.pdf.
