Women in Aviation, International’s (WAI’s) annual conference will give pilots, controllers, mechanics, and other aviation professionals and enthusiasts an opportunity to connect with other women in the industry Feb. 24 to 26 in Reno, Nev.
With the theme of "Inspire, Enthuse, Innovate," the conference will immerse participants in the tactics and strategies necessary for successful aviation careers. The conference includes an exhibit hall, seminars, and networking events. And for the second year, AOPA will have an expanded presence at the show.
Visitors can stop by booth 403 to meet AOPA staff and learn more about information and services for pilots, prospective pilots, and aviation enthusiasts. While there, they can enter a daily drawing to win one of three Amazon Kindles with free 3G wireless. Plus, the association is sponsoring a new member social Thursday, Feb. 24, from 10 to 10:45 a.m.
At the opening reception Feb. 24 from 6 to 7:15 p.m., attendees will have an opportunity to meet AOPA President Craig Fuller and hear him announce the winner of the AOPA Student Pilot Scholarship, awarded to a WAI member pursuing a private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate.
