Tom Sternig, Paul Brenner, And Bruce Baxter Honored
Thursday
With a membership of more
than 1,300 companies from around the world, this year’s AEA
International Convention & Trade Show in the nation’s
capital truly is an international affair. The AEA’s
membership spans 35 countries, with members from 15 of those
countries attending this year’s convention in Washington,
DC.
"As we gather in our nation’s capital this year for the
annual convention and trade show, it is fitting that, in
recognizing AEA’s membership reaches around the globe, our
recipients of the AEA Lifetime Achievement Award are three
international members being recognized for their work in growing
the organization beyond American soil," said Paula Derks, president
of AEA.
This year, three individuals each will be honored with the AEA
Lifetime Achievement Award during the convention’s Official
Opening Ceremonies Thursday, in the Woodrow Wilson Ballroom at the
Gaylord National Resort.
This year’s recipients of the AEA Lifetime Achievement
Award -- Tom Sternig from the Canada region; Paul Brenner from the
Europe region; and Bruce Baxter from the Australia/South Pacific
region (shown below, left to right) -- all were
instrumental in the tremendous international growth of the AEA.
Past recipients of the AEA Lifetime Achievement Award are:
- Robert Kauffmann, founder of Electronics
- Edward King Jr., founder of King Radio
- George Lewison, aviation engineer/author
- Gary Burrell, co-founder of Garmin
- Jack Gross, president of Navair Ltd.
- John Winter, founder of Mid-Continent Instruments
- Monte Mitchell, past president of the AEA
The Aircraft Electronics Association board of directors gave its
first AEA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, and this is the first
year in which more than one individual is receiving the award.
