The Awards Committee and the Junior Enlisted Committee are proposing a junior Enlisted Award.

JUNIOR ENLISTED AWARD

Purpose -

To provide special recognition to a junior enlisted airman and soldier E6 and below who has distinguished themselves in an outstanding and exceptional manner that contributed to the betterment of the junior enlisted ranks.

Eligibility -

Current or lifetime member in the uniformed ranks of E6 and below (ARNG or ANG).

Criteria -

a. An individual must have demonstrated exceptionally meritorious service that has directly impacted the junior enlisted in either EANGUS, their assigned Area, or their State Association.

b. A single act or accomplishment that is meritorious in nature that positively impacted the junior enlisted council at the state or national level.

Nominations and selection process -

a. Any member of EANGUS can nominate a junior enlisted member for this award by completing the appropriate application.

b. Detailed written nominations will be submitted to the EANGUS Awards Committee no later than May 15 prior to the annual conference each year by submitting the appropriate application.

c. The EANGUS Awards Committee will review all nominations with recommendations for selection to the EANGUS President.

d. There is a limit of two (2) awards to be given in any calendar year, one (1) for Air and one (1) for Army and will be presented at the National Conference.

Award- The physical award will be an image of the Minute Man (face with side profile that the JEC Chair provided) etched on a really nice glass/acrylic type trophy. I have a trophy shop in AZ that can create it. I’ll work on getting an image created by the shop and send to the JEC Chair so that we can work together on a final product.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Celia Alosi
