2007 Exceptional Service Award, in appreciation for significant
contributions to the (AFA) organization.

AFA’s Aerospace Education (AE) program.

understatement," said the nominating AFA Chapter 102 President, Tom

civic groups throughout the country. Judy’s outstanding
dedication, initiative, and vision reflect great credit upon
herself, the Montgomery AFA Chapter, and the AFA."

commitment to aviation and education.

an aviation scholarship endowment. This position allows her to
build partnerships across the country to make differences in the
lives of students and the aerospace industry. In addition, Rice
