Congratulations to the Air Force Black Engineer of the Year (BEYA) Award Winners!

Every February, BEYA STEM Global Competitive Conference (Black Engineers of the Year Awards) celebrates achievements in Engineering in both the private and public sector. Each year, BEYA judges select nominees from a talented pool of promising college students, new hires, mid-career professionals and managers, C-suite executives, innovators, inventors, and change agents.

The awardees cross the boundaries of military and civilian efforts in support of the U.S. Air Force mission and illustrate the scope of our work. The Air Force Civilian Service (AFCS) is proud of our winners and the teams who support them. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge their achievements.
