Women in Aviation Conference: Membership Campaign Kick-off

Just Ask Someone

By Rose Dorcey, ANN Correspondent

"Just Ask Someone" is the theme of the 2005 Membership Campaign that was announced at the 16th Annual International Women in Aviation Conference in Dallas. The campaign highlights the power of one person to grow Women in Aviation, according to President Peggy Chabrian.

Chabrian and WAI member Ruth Maestre revealed details of the campaign that is designed to "spread the word about the good things happening in Women in Aviation, International."

Both Chabrian and Maestre encouraged every member to "Just Ask Someone" if they are interested in becoming a member of the organization. Chabrian said many times when perspective members are asked why they haven't already joined the organization; their response is simply that no one had asked them. Many women (and men) are not aware of the tremendous benefits to being a member of the organization, such as the ability to network and find mentors in diverse aviation backgrounds and the vast scholarship opportunities available. In nine years, Women in Aviation, International has given 422 women over $3.5 million in scholarships.

The "Just Ask Someone" membership campaign offers substantial prizes to recruiters. Grand prize is registrations for two, hotel accommodations and airline tickets to the 2007 International Women in Aviation Conference. Prizes will be awarded to those who recruit members in increments at 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20. Eligible recruiters will be put in prize drawings for a SoftComm headset, a Sporty's SP-200 transceiver, a DVD player, and many other prizes.

Women in Aviation officials will also be on the lookout for those wearing "I Got One" buttons -- buttons that make recruiters eligible to win WAI dollars. "Secret Spotters" will be at several aviation events, including EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh; and the AOPA and NBAA conventions.

New members must sign up by March 15, 2006.
