Flight Through Aviation – April 4th
We are so excited that Seneca School of Aviation is partnering with us for our event on April 4th – where 100 grade 7 & 8 girls (all are welcomed) will hear from female industry professionals who have achieved success in a variety of careers in aviation. From flight ops to marketing challenges, it’s hands-on learning galore! Students will familiarize themselves with potential educational paths and get a glimpse into the day-to-day responsibilities in the world of aviation.
Please reach out to Ria Nicholson – Director of Fund Development for more information or if you are interested in becoming an investor!
