The East Coast Chapter of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. (ECCTAI) will host its annual Youth Achievement Recognition Breakfast from 9 a.m.-noon June 1 at the Harborside Hotel in Oxon Hill, Maryland.

The breakfast will honor the accomplishments of youth who completed Levels 2 and 3 of ECCTAI’s Herbert H. Jones Jr. Youth in Aviation Program (YIAP) and the recipients of 2024 financial educational assistance awards managed by the chapter’s Scholarship Committee.

The aviation program inspires and supports young people interested in careers in aviation and aerospace, providing them with exposures, resources and guidance to achieve their dreams.

Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Clarence “CJ” Johnson, a Senior Executive Service member and former Senior Diversity and Inclusion Adviser for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, is the keynote speaker.

ECCTAI members should wear the chapter uniform of red blazer with the organization’s patch on the left chest pocket; white shirt with tie or collar tab, as appropriate; black slacks or skirts; and black shoes.

Registration is required to attend the breakfast. For more information, contact communications@ecctai.org.
