A former Idaho Wing commander and a Colorado Wing cadet took top honors at Civil Air Patrol’s 2022 National Conference this week in Louisville, Kentucky.
Col. Michael Vorachek and Cadet Col. Jenna M. Jones were recognized at the conference as CAP’s Senior Member of the Year and Cadet of the Year, respectively.
“This is an unbelievable honor,” Vorachek said. “I know so many fantastic deserving volunteers from within our ranks, so I was very surprised to receive the notification of my selection.”
“It is extremely surreal,” Jones said. “I had never considered even being nominated for a national award like this, but I am honored to have been selected.”
Jones and Vorachek were joined in the conference spotlight by CAP’s Aerospace Education Teacher of the Year, Lt. Col. Dennis J. Borgerding of the Virginia Wing, and Maj. Luis A. Lebron, commander of the Squadron of Distinction — the Puerto Rico Wing’s Muñiz Air National Guard Base Cadet Squadron.
