Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) is seeking nominations for its inaugural Gloria Heath Trophy, which will be awarded annually to recognize a woman or specific group of women for notable achievements in civil aviation. Nominees must be women currently working in aviation who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and excellence in communication, collaboration, and mentoring, among other criteria.

 


The award is named to honor Gloria W. Heath, one of the founders of FSF. Heath was an aviator in the U.S. Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during World War II. She was also a leader during the early days of the commercial aviation industry. At FSF, Heath developed the first formal course in aircraft accident investigation and served as a driving force behind the Foundation’s efforts to disseminate aviation safety information worldwide. Later, she pioneered methods used in search-and-rescue operations. Heath died in 2017 at age 95.

 


<a href="https://flightsafety.org/foundation/aviation-awards/gloria-heath-trophy/">Nominations for the award</a>, which will be presented during the Foundation’s Networking and Awards Dinner on June 21 at the National Press Club in Washington, are now open. The deadline for submitting nominations is April 30, 2022.
