Volunteer of the Year
This award was created to recognize outstanding volunteers who have contributed to EAA at an extraordinary level. The selected volunteers will be awarded with engraved bricks to be placed in Volunteer Park for all to appreciate during AirVenture. This is a wonderful way to recognize someone whose dedication as a volunteer has inspired and motivated others. The deadline for this award submission is April 15, 2025.
Dorothy Hilbert Award
