Winners of this year's the Naval Air Systems Command Commander’s National Awards will be announced and honored during a command-wide ceremony Tuesday, June 17, 1-3 p.m.

The ceremony is open to all NAVAIR employees by video teleconference, hosted from the atrium of the RADM William A. Moffett building, Patuxent River, Md. and broadcast to all main NAVAIR sites.

The NAVAIR Commander’s National Awards are the highest team awards in NAVAIR.

The awards recognize technical, business and leadership excellence in support of the Command’s strategic priorities: current readiness, future capabilities and people.

Nominations were judged by subject matter experts based on new criteria which emphasized each team’s specific duties and responsibilities as well as alignment with NAVAIR goals, objectives and strategic priorities as described in the Commander’s Guidance.

Awards were selected in five categories: business operations; logistics and industrial operations; program management; research, development, test and evaluation/science and technology; and quality of service/customer service.

All NAVAIR teams composed of civilians, military and contractor personnel were eligible. Names of the winning teams stand on permanent display in the atrium of the Moffett building.

During the ceremony senior leaders will also honor recipients of the Edward H. Heinemann and the Michael T. Fish Quality of Worklife awards.
