Byrl Shoemaker Instructor of the Year Nomination Form

There are many individuals within the automotive service industry whose contributions continue to influence and inspire long after they are gone. Such an individual was Byrl Shoemaker, Ph.D. Few have done as much to advance technician education and we honor his memory each year with the presentation of an award in his name.

The Byrl Shoemaker/ASE Education Foundation Instructor of the Year award recognizes a high school or college instructor from an ASE accredited automotive, diesel/truck, or collision repair program who demonstrates excellence through their personal dedication and commitment to the young men and women who have chosen to pursue a technical career in the automotive service industry. It is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for those outstanding instructors whose work reflects the same dedication to technical education modeled by Dr. Shoemaker.

The winning instructor will receive a plaque, a $1000 award, and an expenses-paid trip with their significant other to attend the ASE Instructor Training Conference, July 15-18, 2024 in Minneapolis,MN, as well as ASE's Board of Directors fall meeting to be celebrated at the annual Technician of the Year Recognition Banquet. This year, the meeting and banquet will be held on November 20, 2024 in New Orleans, LA. Their name will also be added to a plaque listing previous honorees displayed in the ASE Education Foundation office.

Candidates must be nominated by an administrator, e.g., Principal, Program Director, Dean, Department Chair, CTE Director, etc. Finalists will be contacted by ASE Education Foundation Field Managers to verify their information and eligibility. To nominate an outstanding instructor, complete the form below by the extended deadline of May 10, 2024. Thank you for helping us recognize the best of the best!
