The Colonel Errol K. 'Buck' Honaker Visual Information Leadership Award recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves with outstanding service as a Visual Information leader over a minimum of 10 years in the Army VI career field. Honaker Award recipients have made indelible, enduring, and impactful contributions to the VI career field, mission and community of practice for the Army and in some cases the Department of Defense. The Honaker Award, established in 2024, ensures the lasting contributions of exceptional professionals in visual information are honored by the Army Public Affairs Association for their enduring impact on the Army and the nation it serves.
