The Air Force Public Affairs Hall of Fame recognizes those Public Affairs professionals who have made unique, significant, and lasting contributions to the United States Air Force.

Members of the Hall of Fame, whether enlisted, officer, or civilian, were groundbreaking leaders in one or more of the specialties encompassed by the Air Force Public Affairs career field — Band, Broadcasting, Visual Information/Combat Camera, and Information/Public Affairs. They secured their places of honor in the history and traditions of the Air Force by their ceaseless and eminently successful efforts to earn it the trust, confidence, and appreciation of the American people.

Hall of Fame members are selected on an annual basis and honored each year at the AFPAA Annual Meeting. Each new member — or their family representative — receives a unique trophy commemorating the honoree's contributions to Air Force Public Affairs. Recognizing the significance of this special honor to the Public Affairs family, AFPAA's Board of Directors has selected a permanent physical location for the Hall of Fame and is currently working with SAF/PA on plans for its establishment at the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Maryland.

The first fifteen members of the Hall of Fame — the "Pioneers" — were announced by the AFPAA Board of Directors and SAF/PA on July 1, 2021. Since then, nineteen more members have been announced, including the most recent ones — the four members of the class of 2024. The 2024 inductees will be honored at the Annual Meeting held in San Antonio, Texas on October 5, 2024.
