2012 AEA Annual Awards
Each year, during the annual AEA International Convention, two prestigious awards are presented:
"AEA Member of the Year" Award:
This award recognizes an individual who is actively involved in the AEA and in the industry, not a company. The individual must be affiliated with an AEA regular member company.
"AEA Associate Member of the Year" Award:
This award honors a company that is an associate member of the AEA, not an individual. Associate members include manufacturers, distributors, used equipment dealers and service providers.
All too often we take for granted major accomplishments made by individuals or companies in our Association. Your vote is most important to the success of this program. Please take a few minutes to decide which individual and which associate member company should receive this year's awards.

Note: Deadline for voting is Friday, Feb. 3, 2012.
