No matter what area of
aviation or aerospace you're in, the Women in Aviation Conference
is the place to be March 10-12 in Dallas (TX). Heck, you don't even
have to be a woman, just an aviation/aerospace geek like the rest
of us.
The theme of this year's conference is "Achieving Individual and
Industry Success Through Strategic Alliances." WAI says you can
start your strategic alliances... well alliances anyway... with
Rose Dorcey and me. We'll be covering the conference from start to
finish. We want your input for our conference coverage. Do you
think it's better or worse now for females in aviation/aerospace?
What position do you hold? Do you have a unique career? How does it
feel to be a guy at the conference?
Rose and I want to know. Find us and talk to us. We'll be
proudly wearing our Aero-News logo and look forward to meeting with
you.
Aside from talking to Rose and I, you can attend one of two
tours recently added to the conference schedule courtesy of
American Airlines. The Alliance Ft. Worth Maintenance Facility tour
and the American Airlines Systems Operation Control Training
Facility and C.R. Smith Museum. Details can be found on the WAI
website.
If the educational aspect and meeting new people aren't enough
reason to join WAI and attend the conference. How about the
scholarships? In recent years, hundreds of thousands of dollars in
scholarships have been awarded each year at the conference to
members. Only ten years ago, when WAI first started there were two
scholarships for $500 each. Two recent additions that will be
awarded this year are two Airbus A-320 type ratings valued at
$30,000 each. The deadline for the 2005 scholarships have passed
but imagine what will be available for next year.
Rose and I will see you there.
