Annual Conference Touts Importance of Strategic Alliances
By ANN Correspondent Rose Dorcey
The skies will be
filled with women involved in aviation as they converge in Dallas
for the 16th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference
March 10-12. The 2005 conference will capitalize on the importance
of strategic alliances in the aviation industry with the theme:
Achieving Individual and Industry Success Through Strategic
Alliances.
Over a course of three days, women (and men) will have the
chance to hear inspiring speakers, attend informative seminars,
learn of scholarship opportunities and network with others in the
field. According to the Women in Aviation International website,
the conference provides "a chance to speak face-to-face with other
women who have juggled career and family, or who were first in
their field. Opportunities to meet mentors, or help inspire others,
will abound. Men and women who attend the annual WAI Conference
will take advantage of the chance to interact with leaders from all
sectors of aviation."
Among the distinguished speakers… Colleen Barrett,
President, Southwest Airlines; Gretchen Jahn, Chief Executive
Officer, Mooney Airplane Company; Ralph Hood, Aviation Humorist;
and Capt. Kimberly Black, USAF, B-1B Bomber Pilot.
ANN correspondents Aleta Vinas and I are flying the friendly
skies to Dallas to cover this important aviation event. We will
attend conference seminars, listen to stimulating speakers, talk
with aviation's movers and shakers, and get our fingers on the
pulse of women in aviation today. And, we will report it all to
you. If you cannot be there, look for daily updates as we bring
conference highlights to your computer.
