The Aerospace Education Excellence Award Program

This award is presented to units that participate in an activity-based voluntary aerospace education program. The unit AEO and unit commander enroll in the program and sign a contract to have six aerospace activities January through June. Reports are submitted each month to National Headquarters.  Units completing the requirements are presented with a commemorative plaque.
Far more important than the plaque are the educational materials that are provided at no cost as part of this program, and the benefits to the unit by participating in this program.  Conducting these activities foster group interaction and socialization, and can generate great excitement for aerospace education within the unit.
