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
Gwaltnery. "She has actively promoted AE with teachers, schools and
civic groups throughout the country. Judy’s outstanding
dedication, initiative, and vision reflect great credit upon
herself, the Montgomery AFA Chapter, and the AFA."

been committed to education throughout her career. From sixteen
years in formal education, to her current position as Careers in
Aviation President/CEO, she has proven a life-long love and
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
remains director to two national aerospace conferences: the
National Conference on Aviation and Space Education (NCASE) and the
