2014 Special Note:  Due to the continued suppression of government travel and inability for senior Air Force leadership to secure funding for military travelers, the NRA continues in 2014 supporting and fully funding industry travelers and past Hennessy Travelers Association volunteers for the installation level evaluations.  This continued dedication ensures that 58 years of industry peer assessments, validation, training and industry recommendations for improvement continue recognizing excellence worldwide.
HUGE thanks to all of our dedicated volunteers who continue to "reported for duty" on a moments notice!

2013 Special Note:  Due to the imposed sequestration mandate restricting all travel by military members, past trained Hennessy Travelers Association volunteers traveled to each participating installation, ensuring 57 years of industry recognizing excellence worldwide remained unbroken.  HUGE thanks to all of our dedicated volunteers who "reported for duty" on a moments notice!
