THE ORDER of the SPR (Nomination Form)
Induction into the “Order of the SPR” represents distinguished recognition by the NPMC. Shortly after the NPMC was formed, a program was established to recognize outstanding and significant contributions of enduring value to the aviation fueling world. This group was called the “Order of the SPR”. The symbol is the universal aircraft fueling adapter, or the “SPR”, the single point receptacle, an acronym coined by the military when the first large jet aircraft pressure refueling systems were designed and built in the late 1940s, and “SPR” it has been for the past 70 years. The people honored with induction into the order have one thing in common – they have that little extra that is the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary. They do not follow where the path may lead. Instead they go where there is no path and leave a trail. The SPR is embedded in NPMC as Safety, Professionalism and Reliability.
THE JOHN “JACK” F. LAVIN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The highest award the NPMC bestows on an individual. This award has no nomination process. Rather, the NPMC awards committee meets annually to internally nominate and select the award winner from those who have previously been inducted into the Order of the SPR and demonstrated a lifetime of contributions to our field.
