Couple Honored

AMA’s outgoing president, Bob Brown and his wife, JoAnne, were honored in November for their many years of service to the organization.

Following a meeting with FAI officials at AMA Headquarters in November 2016, Bob and JoAnne were presented the AMA Outstanding Service Award for Couples. This award is given in recognition and appreciation of two individuals who, as a team, have given of themselves to the AMA in a consistent, selfless, and untiring manner for many years, providing an unmatched example of volunteerism to all.

Bob served two terms as AMA president, beginning in January 2013. Before that, he served AMA in various capacities for more than 30 years. He was an FAI subcommittee chairman and was AMA District III vice president for 21 years.

JoAnne took minutes at AMA Executive Council meetings for several years, attended and helped at AMA trade shows and events for roughly 20 years, and was previously an AMA employee. The FAI also presented Bob with the FAI Paul Tissandier Diploma on Friday, November 11, during a reception. This award is given to those who have served the cause of aviation in general, specifically sporting aviation, through their work, initiative, devotion, or in other ways.
