For several consecutive years, the Honoree Award was given to a group or individual that contributed to the sport of skydiving in extraordinary ways. The Award was retired following the 2017 designation.
In 2018, the Honoree Award was replaced by the Path of Excellence Award, which is more prestigious in both name and distinction. It recognizes entities – groups, companies, organizations or teams – for significant contributions of enduring high value to the world of skydiving.
