For years, ATEC has partnered with the  Northrop Rice Foundation  to recognize outstanding educators, and promising aviation maintenance professionals. New this year,  JSfirm.com  will generously contribute a cash award to each honoree.

The  James Reardon Aviation Maintenance Technician Student of the Year Award  and  Ivan D. Livi Aviation Maintenance Educator of the Year Award  recognize individuals who - through academic excellence, community involvement or professional skill - make a direct, positive impact on their associates, school, or community. Recipients will be recognized at the ATEC Annual Conference awards luncheon on Monday, March 18.

In addition to the cash award, winners receive a plaque, complimentary registration, and travel reimbursement to the  ATEC annual conference , being held March 17-20 in Wichita.
