professional and career development for business aviation
schedulers and dispatchers.

the Committee offers cash grants, which can be used for a variety
of professional development initiatives. Since 1997, more than

this program.
A separate Schedulers & Dispatchers Training Scholarship
Program, initiated in 2004, offers opportunities for scholarship
recipients to gain access to hands-on teaching initiatives.
