    Helen Pierce, Zonta Club of Salem, OR, USA: first chair of Amelia Earhart Fellowship Committee in 1938. She served on this committee until her death in 1978. Dr. Pierce had more direct influence on the Amelia Earhart Awards program than another single person (ZI AE Manual  January 1984). It was Helen Pierce who presented the original awards project to Zonta’s 1938 convention, She was named the first chairman. During her term as awards committee chairman (1956-1968) she used her professionally expertise as an English Professor to clarify awards’ terminology, to reiterate that the award was intended for graduate and not undergraduate students, the term “scholarship” was replaces with the term “Fellowship”, to meet the needs of a rapidly changing scientific world, the Awards’ designation for “study in aeronautical engineering” was broadened to “study in aerospace sciences’.’(ZI AE Manual January 1984)
