2026 Volunteer of the Year

EAA invites nominations for the annual Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Each year, EAA's amazing members spend countless hours devoting their time to our organization. EAA wants to recognize these volunteers for all they do to promote the Spirit of Aviation through their dedicated volunteer service.

The volunteers selected will be memorialized with engraved bricks that will be placed in EAA’s Volunteer Park for all to appreciate during AirVenture. This is a wonderful way to honor a volunteer whose dedication as a volunteer has inspired and motivated those around them.

Nominations will be accepted until April 15, 2026, and evaluated by the EAA Leadership Team.
