EAA recognizes chapter members for their personal commitment and contributions to EAA, chapters, and their fellow members.

Strong and healthy EAA chapters are the backbone of the organization. Those honored have demonstrated their passion and dedication for their chapter, EAA, and the recreational aviation community.
Nominations for next year will open in March, 2023.
