FiestaCrow 2011 symposium organizers are seeking nominations for El Cuervo Viejo XIV (The Old Crow, the Fourteenth), an honorary title bestowed by the symposium upon an AOC member, nominated by his/her peers, as one who best personifies the spirit of the international "Old Crows."

The person selected will debut on the AOC float during the internationally renowned San Antonio Texas Cavaliers' River Parade on Monday evening, 11 April 2011, in conjunction with the biennial AOC Mountain-Western Region EW Technical Symposium, "EW/IO in a CYBER WORLD" 11-14 April 2011 (www.fiestacrow.com).

According to tradition established by the selection committee, no previous announcement of the person selected will be made before that evening. The River Parade is viewed by more than 200,000 people lining the banks of the downtown San Antonio River and additional thousands on local television. El Cuervo Viejo XIV will also be an honored guest at the symposium's grand banquet later in the week.
