On February 25th through February 27th, 2010, the Women in
Aviation International organization held their 21st annual
conference; over 3,000 women and men gathered at Disney's Coronado
Springs Resort to celebrate the 2010 WAI Conference theme,
"Aviation – It’s a Small World." Developed in 1990,
Women in Aviation International is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women throughout
aviation career sectors and interests.
WAI's year-round assistance provides networking, education,
mentoring, and scholarship opportunities for all who seek careers
in the aviation and aerospace industries, both women and men. The
organization's 8,000+ membership includes a wide-range of industry
representatives including astronauts, corporate pilots, maintenance
technicians, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, air show
performers, educators and students; through this extensive
international membership network, WAI offers a diverse base for
both personal and career development opportunities, particularly
for women within the industry.
In an effort to optimize these networking opportunities, Women
in Aviation, International began annual WAI conferences, holding
the first gathering in 1990. Now, twenty years later, the WAI
conferences remain a crucial hub for both career advancement and
education.
Visitors are able to receive face-to-face interaction with more
than 200 industry representatives offering both employment and
educational opportunities. Aero-TV spoke with several on-site
recruiters about the current career opportunities available for
both men and women within the commercial aviation industry.
