Joey Mercer wins the 2022 Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) Associate Administrator (AA) Award for Strategic Partnerships

Joey Mercer from NASA’s Human Systems Integration Division, was honored with the 2022 ARMD Associate Administrator (AA) Award for Strategic Partnerships. As the principal investigator of NASA's Scalable Traffic Management for Emergency Response Operations (STEReO) activity, Joey has developed strategic partnerships with the stakeholder community that will endure beyond the activity and enable future Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) efforts to support wildfire management. The partnerships he has fostered with various wildfire management organizations at the local, state, and federal levels has led to the development of innovative solutions to their stated needs, as well as the crafting of unique roles for each organization involved.

NASA's Associate Administrator Awards are presented to individuals and groups within the agency who contribute to Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate activities and who demonstrate exemplary performance in one of six award categories. The Awards are presented to NASA employees, contractors and students or interns who distinguish themselves, either individually or as part of a group, through their overall approach to their work and through results they achieved during the award year. Their accomplishments demonstrate a profound positive impact and benefit to NASA, the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, its partners and/or stakeholders.
