First, the bad news. The original deadline for the ICAS
Foundation Hall of Fame nominations was June 1st. Yep you missed
it! But the good news is that the ICAS Foundation has given you
another chance. The new deadline for nominations is July 31st.
All the rules about how to make a nomination are available
online, so think about that hero of yours who has helped
the airshow industry. Now's your chance to recognize them.
The ICAS Foundation is a non-profit organization manned by
volunteers, some of whom pay their own expenses to the annual ICAS
convention just to help raise money for worthy causes. Those causes
include helping the members of the airshow community who may need
unexpected financial assistance due to an illness, accident, or
other event. The Foundation also manages scholarships for young
(and not-so-young) persons who are attempting to further their
education in things aeronautical or aerobatical.
The Foundation also manages its Hall of Fame. If you've been to
an ICAS convention, you've seen the Foundation induct airshow
personalities into the Hall. Typically, up to three persons (or
groups) are inducted, all based on nominations from members of the
airshow community. You do not need to be an ICAS member to make a
nomination. With the extension of the nomination process to the end
of July, there is still time for you to consider nominating a
person whom you deem worth of joining the ranks of previous
winners.
