Opportunity in the Offing

The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA)—the Washington D.C.-based non-profit organization perpetually about the noble endeavor of “fostering an environment that allows business aviation to thrive in the United States and around the world” announced on 28 February 2023 that its Business Aviation Management Committee has selected three individuals to whom the association will award its 2023 Leadership Conference Scholarships.

Each scholarship covers the cost of registering for the NBAA’s 2023 Leadership Conference, which will be held the week of 28 February in Charlotte, North Carolina. Subject conference brings together current and future leaders of all facets of the business aviation industry, to include aircraft operators and maintainers, as well as vendors engaged in providing products and services germane to the aviation industry.

2023’s Leadership Scholarship is sponsored by donations from NBAA committee members and entities within the greater business aviation industry. Scholarship winners will be recognized during the conference by the Business Aviation Management Committee.

The 2023 Leadership Conference recipients are:

• Rebecca Torres: a Chamblee, Georgia-based aerial services project manager.
• Mya J. Coley: a Newburgh, New York-based Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and flight department aviation operations coordinator.
• Emily White: a Texas-based senior data and technical analysis specialist in the employ of a San Antonio private concern.

Founded in 1947, the National Business Aviation Association represents more than 10,000 general aviation companies and professional members and provides more than one-hundred products and services to the business aviation community—including the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), the world’s largest civil-aviation trade show. NBAA offers numerous scholarships by which the association seeks to contemporaneously promote professional development and business aviation careers.
