We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women in all aviation career fields and interests. We strive to encourage, empower, and educate all those whose interests, lives, and work involve aviation and aerospace without regard to race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, physical or mental abilities, or point of view.
