National Aerospace Awards
Award recipients for 2009 are listed at
http://www.afa.org/AboutUs/nawards.asp. January is the time to begin a new National Aerospace Awards
program year! We have already issued 2010 National Aerospace Award Guidelines to the many POCs who solicit nomination packages. Most POCs will
have suspense dates for submission of nominations to them in the first quarter of 2010. POCs are to submit award packages to AFA HQ by May 1, 2010.
From time to time we receive suggestions from our chapters about providing instructions on our website covering application procedures. AFA HQ
does not because AFA is the final step in a long process for Air Force awards. Nominations are solicited from MAJCOMs, FOAs (field operating
agencies) and DRUs (direct reporting units) via instructions defined by the Air Force (e.g., AFI 36-28). Once the Air Force has selected either
the final recipient or the top three nominations for an award program, their information is sent to AFA HQ. AFA’s National Aerospace Awards
Committee meets in June of each year to plan the award ceremony which is conducted during the opening ceremonies of AFA’s annual Air & Space
Conference.
When we receive an inquiry on how to apply for this or that specified award, we provide the inquirer with contact information for the POC
for that award program. Lynette Cross, Manager of National Aerospace Awards for the Air Force Association, is available to provide information
and contacts on our many Air Force level awards. She can be contacted on ext. 4807, or
lcross@afa.org.
