Initiated in 2013, the Walid Abushakra Award for Impact on International Education is conferred every year in conjunction with AAIE. The award ceremony and reception dinner is one of the highlights of the conference, bringing together international school heads, representatives of the U.S. Department of State, and other educational leaders.

The award is accompanied by a US$5000 contribution to the recipient’s cause of choice, which Bambi and Forrest directed towards the Children of Haiti Project (COHP). Past honorees include John Magagna, Founding Director of Search Associates (2015); Alan Travers, Former Coordinator of Education Career Services, Queen's University (2014); and Ernest Mannino, Founder of the Office of Overseas Schools (2013).
