WomenVenture
is Coming!
mark your calendars for the end of July, because Women in Aviation, Interna- tional is teaming up with the Experimental Aircraft Association to host the third WomenVenture experience July 29-30, during the EAA AirVenture Fly-
In at Wittman Field in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. If you are an early bird and like working
with teens (or just have a teenage girl you
would like to get involved in aviation) start
the week with Women Soar You Soar, EAA’s
educational experience for high school teen
girls held in conjunction with UW-Osh-
kosh and ERAU on July 25-27. Learn more
at www.airventure.org/womensoar or call (920) 426-4800 for more information.
Join us Thursday evening at 7: 30 pm in the Theater in the Woods for a terrific Women in Aviation panel that will include astronauts Peg Whitson and Bonnie Dunbar.
Then follow up with everyone at a sumptuous WAI
Celebrity Breakfast the
next morning at 8:00 am
in the Pavilion by the Nature Center, between the
EAA Museum and the air
field. Experience the camaraderie of women gathered together to share their
love of aviation.
Reach out to other women and help them learn about aviation opportunities and challenge them to “elevate their lives.” Meet women from
all walks of aviation life—designers, builders, engineers, mechanics, air traffic controllers, retailers, writers, commercial pilots, aerobatic pilots, astronauts and more! From there we head straight to AeroShell Square for our third annual picture of women in aviation at the EAA AirVenture show. Be sure to sign in. You can pick up your canary yellow WomenVenture T-shirt anytime during the
week at the WAI booth or at the breakfast on Friday morning. Be sure to get your shirt and wear it for the occasion! ✈

Meet Us This Fall
at the AOPA
Aviation Summit
Are you a westerner? Or maybe you are
already planning to be at the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA)
Annual Aviation summit? Well, if you are,
make sure to leave room in your schedule for WAI activities. We will again be
hosting the Women’s Wing at the AOPA
Aviation summit, and this year the Wing
will be a part of the exhibit Hall floor, ensuring us good visibility and traffic flow.
Plan on meeting everyone from WAsP to
astronauts and pilots and women interested in learning to fly or make their way
in other aviation disciplines in the Women’s Wing. We are looking for volunteers
to help at the WAI booth and in the Women’s Wing, particularly CFI’s. ✈
Professional Women Controllers held their annual conference in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, in May. President Peggy Chabrian made a presentation to the
PWC board of directors, inviting them to hold their conference in 2012 in Dallas,
texas, to coincide with the Annual International Women in Aviation Conference,
which will be held there in March 2012. In the photo (left to right):
