Nominations Open for FSF Leadership and Innovation Awards

Awards will be presented at IASS 2024 in Rio de Janeiro.

by FSF Communications Staff | July 18, 2024

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — Nominations are now open for Flight Safety Foundation’s Jerome Lederer Safety Leadership Medal and the David Morrison Innovation Award. Both awards will be presented during a special awards dinner held in conjunction with the Foundation’s 77th annual International Aviation Safety Summit (IASS 2024) scheduled for Nov. 5–7 in Rio de Janeiro.

The Jerome Lederer Safety Leadership Medal recognizes an individual or team for making a significant contribution to the advancement of civil aviation safety through demonstrated organizational or industry leadership and by developing or advancing programs that will have a lasting impact on aviation. Selection criteria include the nominee’s role as a strong champion of safety information–sharing and an advocate of developing and promoting safety standards, and broad recognition of the nominee as a safety leader.

The David Morrison Innovation Award recognizes an individual, a team, or an organization for notable technological innovation or process transformation in civil aviation. As part of the selection process, the Foundation would like to understand how the need was identified, what went into designing and developing the innovation or process change, and how collaboration played a role.

Lederer and Morrison were both among the group of innovators who launched the Foundation in 1945.

ā€œFlight Safety Foundation believes it is important to recognize significant achievement in the aviation industry, and these two prestigious awards, which are rooted in the Foundation’s heritage, are part of that effort,ā€ said Foundation President and CEO Dr. Hassan Shahidi.

The deadline for submitting nominations for both awards is Aug. 19. More information on the awards and how to submit nominations is available on the Foundation’s website.

IASS 2024 is scheduled for Nov. 5–7 at the Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. Registration for IASS is open and an early bird registration discount is available until July 31. Please visit the IASS 2024 webpage on the Foundation website for more information and to register. IASS 2024 is organized by the Foundation in partnership with the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency
