National Business Aviation Association’s president and chief executive Ed Bolen has received the Aviation Leader of the Year award from the Kiddie Hawk Air Academy.
The academy is affiliated with the Airport Journals publications and is a Colorado-based nonprofit group interested in fostering young people’s interest in aviation careers. It annually awards individuals who have made significant contributions to aviation.
Bolen has consistently articulated the role that general aviation plays in serving companies and communities across the country, said academy spokesman Paul Lips in a statement. “Ed understands that general aviation is central to job creation, business investment and economic activity in countless local areas,” Lips said.
