Women in Aviation Chapter Hosts Girls in Aviation Day in 2016
The Women With Wings Saint Louis Chapter of Women in Aviation International (WAI) has announced that a free program is offered to local girls ages 11 to 17 years to introduce them to the possibilities available in a career in aviation. The day’s activities will take place at The Boeing Prologue Room from 1pm- 3pm on Saturday, September 24, 2016. More than 50 girls along with their chaperones are expected to attend.
“We want our girls from the Saint Louis region to see that there are exciting careers available to them as engineers, astronauts, pilots, dispatchers, air traffic controllers, and dozens of other jobs within the aviation community,” says WAI Women With Wings President Allison Sutter. “We will introduce the girls to role models and educate them in a fun and supportive atmosphere. We are very fortunate to be able to partner with Boeing for this annual event. Boeing leads in this industry when it comes to drafting more women into STEM careers,” added Sutter.
The Women With Wings Chapter will join Women in Aviation International chapters around the world on September 24, 2016, for an outreach event to inspire the next generation of women in aviation. Chapters all over the world are putting on their own, unique programs, and U.S. states are proclaiming September 24, 2016 to be Girls in Aviation Day in their state- including Missouri Governor Jeremiah W. (Jay) Nixon. Attendees will also be able to earn the new Girl Scout Aviation Girl Fun Patch.
“The program is free for participants and their chaperones,” added Laura Holland- O’Brien, Vice President. “We just want to see girls interacting with positive role models and considering aviation as they make their college and career plans.”
