Local Chapter Events Every Month

Join us each month as we explore careers and the world of aviation. Come on a tour, listen to a guest speaker, participate in an educational seminar or come out for a fun evening and meet new friends. There's something new to do each month!

Scholarships

As a member of our chapter you can apply for our Spirit of Aviation Scholarship. This year we awarded TWO scholarships .

Networking and Mentorship

Joining our chapter offers much more than just local events and scholarship opportunities. Being a part of our chapter you will meet new people and forge new friendships. You may find a mentor or become a mentor for others. Aviation is a small world and networking can play an important part of your career progression.

Community Involvement

Our chapter is committed to hosting community outreach events such as Girls in Aviation Day.  Whether it's being a guest speaker at the Brownies, giving an aviation career presentation to a group of students or hosting scholarship info sessions, we love to share our passion for aviation.
