We will have women and men currently in aviation careers as speakers and volunteers; all of them willing to share their stories. A perfect opportunity for your girl(s) to ask questions about their careers.
Volunteering at events like this is always better when shared with a group of friends to participate together!
We are still seeking volunteers to assist - if you are interested please email Keri.Martin@AWAM16.com
If your girls aren't interested in volunteering please visit
