Created to honor individuals who
have made a significant identifiable contribution to the
advancement of business aviation in Europe, the European Business
Aviation Award is presented each year to one or more individuals on
the occasion of EBACE, the only European exhibition of its kind to
focus exclusively on business aviation. This year nominations are
due to EBACE's European or USA Offices by March 15, 2005.
After receipt of the nominations, the EBACE Award Committee will
review them and select appropriate nominee(s). Nominations must
include the following items:
A letter introducing the nominee and explaining why he or she
is proposed for the award. This document serves as the nominator's
letter of reference.
The nominee's professional biography and/or resume describing
nominee's education, employment, accomplishments and
honors.
Any supporting documents, including copies of newspaper
clippings, publications and articles related to the
nomination.
Additional letters of reference from individuals other than the
nominator are optional, but may assist the Award Committee in
reaching a judgment.
