Aerospace Education Reports and Awards

It's that time again!  Time for AE Reports and Awards. 

Remember to Complete the AE Report and Plan of Action for your Squadron and submit it to the Wing DAE no later than January 15, 2008.  The Report Form and a sample Plan of Action can be found in CAPP 215.  Make sure you are using the latest edition (1 Apr 05)

Has someone in your squadron or community done an excellent job in supporting the Aerospace Program?  If so, nominate them for a Brewer Award! 

Brewer Award (information copied from the National CAP Website):

Established 31 Dec 1959, the Brewer awards serve as a memorial to Mr. Frank G. Brewer, Sr. and his lifelong interest in aviation, youth, and education. Recognition is given to individuals and organizations that have made outstanding contributions, out of selfless devotion, to the advancement of youth in aerospace activities. Nominees are evaluated on CAP program support, significance of accomplishment, community involvement, and support of all facets of the aerospace education mission. Nomination forms are found in CAPP 15, Aerospace Education Officers' Handbook.

This award is presented annually in four categories at both the regional and national level. 
The four categories for this award are:

Category I - Civil Air Patrol Cadet Member
Category II - Civil Air Patrol Senior Member
Category III – Individual or Organization outside of Civil Air Patrol
Category IV - Lifetime Achievement

Any member or unit may submit a Brewer nomination for any category.  Nominations must be submitted to the wing DAE by 15 January.  For more information, see CAPP 15.
