Board of Electors Committee

The Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame was founded on April 19, 1989, when Governor Joe Frank Harris signed into law the authorization for the establishment of the state's Aviation Hall of Fame in the Museum of Aviation at Robin's Air Force Base.  The 1999 Georgia Legislature enacted a law making it the official repository for documents associated with aviation history.

The State's purpose for establishing the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame is "to promote and encourage the growth and public support of aviation within the state by honoring those, living or dead, who by extraordinary achievements or service have made outstanding and lasting contributions to aviation in Georgia. Persons eligible for recognition in the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame shall include residents of the state whose achievements in or contributions to aviation occurred within or outside the state and nonresidents whose achievements in or contributions to aviation occurred within the state." 

The Mission of the Board of Electors is to vote on the four nominees who will be inducted in to the georgia Aviation Hall of Fame each year. 

Approximately nine months prior to each induction ceremony, a ballot is created containing the names of twenty four Hall of Fame nominees for the current selection cycle. A biographical sketch of each nominee is included indicating his/her achievements and contributions to aviation.
