The Distinguished Graduate Award Committee wants to enrich the pool of potential candidates for this important award. The committee has approved the establishment of a "Pre-Nomination Recommendation" which allows people to send the AOG a name and a one paragraph justification. The AOG staff would then do Internet research to gather preliminary information on the nominee. The DGA Committee would determine if the person merited additional consideration and would contact the nominator for assistance in putting together a more detailed package.
The Distinguished Graduate Award recognizes exceptional graduates who have set themselves apart by making extraordinarily significant contributions to our nation and/or their communities. It is a unique honor bestowed by the U.S. Air Force Academy and its Association of Graduates, recognizing graduates whose accomplishments are inspirational and elevate the reputation and the standing of the U.S. Air Force Academy. Distinguished Graduates should provide an example to all graduates and cadets of the standards that we value and of the abilities that have made our country and society great.
While the selection criteria for this award are extremely demanding and the competition is keen, we need the assistance of every graduate to identify deserving candidates for evaluation. Non-graduates are also encouraged to submit nominations. This is our opportunity to recognize our own while identifying those who can serve as an inspiration to future generations of America's leaders.
