The Joan Orr award honors significant contributions made by non-military spouses of Air Force military members.

Nominations, being accepted through Jan. 7, 2015, are open to all Air Force units and organizations regardless of size. Each MAJCOM, combatant command, FOA and DRU may submit only one nomination.
For both awards, organizations and base-level personnel must contact their MAJCOM, COCOM, FOA or DRU for applicable suspense dates and additional information regarding nomination procedures.
