Lt. Col. Harold Brown (USAF, Retired) will receive the Pioneer Award for his and other Tuskegee Airman’s courage during World War II and his endurance under the glare of segregation back home.

- Nicolas Finazzo, CEO of AerSale for the Wright Brothers Memorial Award
- Rafael Alonso, past president for Airbus, Latin America for the Juan Trippe Award
- Derry Huff, vice president of Strategic Initiatives for Amerijet International for the Glenn Curtis Award

- Konrad J. Walter, CEO of Taking Aviation Forward; managing partner for TMSaero for the Lifetime Achievement Award
- Regional One for the Corporate Achievement
Award In addition, 22 students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Florida Memorial University, Broward College, Lynn University, Miami-Dade College and George T. Baker Technical College will receive scholarships between $1,000 and $5,000.
