2025 Chapters and Young Eagles Volunteer Award Nominations

2025 Chapters and Young Eagles Volunteer Award Nominations

March 2025 – Do you know a dedicated EAA chapter or Young Eagles volunteer who is worthy of recognition? Nominate them for an award at AirVenture this year! Nominations are now open for the 2025 EAA Chapters and Young Eagles volunteer awards. These awards will be presented at EAA AirVenture this summer to recognize the chapter volunteers and Young Eagles volunteers who went above and beyond in their roles to promote The Spirit of Aviation.


Chapter Volunteer Awards

Nominate those chapter members who have gone the extra mile and beyond throughout the year for the betterment of their chapter, EAA, and the general aviation community. Strong and healthy EAA chapters are the backbone of the organization. Those honored have demonstrated their passion and dedication for their chapter, EAA, and recreational aviation.

Chapter volunteers are eligible for the following awards:

  • Major Achievement Award— Many EAA members go above and beyond the call of their chapter member duty. To recognize these select individuals, EAA awards members with a Chapter Major Achievement Award. Winners are selected for their EAA and chapter dedication, service to the aviation community, and personal achievements.
  • Newsletter Editor— Newsletters are one of the main communication links for chapters. Composing a monthly chapter newsletter that is informative, easy to read, and interesting is a daunting task for the newsletter editor. Newsletters are judged on consistency, appearance, layout, and content.
  • Web Editor— EAA chapters have embraced the internet to communicate and connect with fellow aviators, allowing them to better serve the local members and the aviation community at large. Websites are judged on ease of use, appearance, layout, and content.

Do you know a deserving volunteer? Submit your nomination today!

All nominations are due no later than May 31, 2025. Nominations will be reviewed by the EAA chapters staff, and a maximum of four awards will be presented in each category.
