Chapter Awards

Major Achievement Award

The EAA Major Achievement Award is an opportunity for Chapters to recognize individuals whose accomplishments, efforts and dedication they feel have contributed the most in the furthering recreational aviation. The award recipients have served or are currently serving as Chapter Leaders and have given of their time and support to Chapter and EAA programs. Major Achievement Award recipients are excellent role models for their fellow Members and local communities. Each year 10 individuals are recognized.

EAA Newsletter Editor Award
  
EAA Chapter 45 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania developed the McKillop Award. They wanted to recognize their first Chapter Newsletter Editor for his efforts to produce an informative and easy to read Newsletter. The Chapter Office took over the judging efforts several years ago. Previous Newsletter Award winners, EAA Staff and Chapter Members all join together to accomplish the huge task of judging over 1,000 Newsletters from all over the world. The Newsletters are judged on consistency, appearance, layout and content.

EAA Web Editor Award

This award was newly developed in 2000 to recognize the significant place the Chapter Website has come to hold in the communication efforts of the Chapter. Web Editors have taken on the challenge to create and maintain a website that is informative, easy to navigate, eye appealing and carries the message of the Chapter and EAA. As technology continues to progress we expect the number of Chapter Websites to grow and for the judging process to become even more difficult as Chapters take advantage of this electronic method of communication.
