Aerospace Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Ambassador Award
This award recognises diversity & inclusion, an awareness that we do not have to be a stereotypical individual in the aerospace industry to succeed and to be influential. No matter their race, religion, gender, sexuality or physical ability, the award recipient will have demonstrated that they have broken the mould, that they are not content with being a minority and will have made a significant contribution to the industry to drive it forward.
