Individuals Will Be Recognized At The Leadership Conference Later This Month

The NBAA today announced that two individuals have been selected by the Association's Corporate Aviation Management Committee as recipients of the 2010 Corporate Aviation Management Scholarship.
 
Each scholarship includes a value equivalent to $1,600 to cover expenses associated with attendance at NBAA's 2010 Leadership Conference, taking place on February 24 and 25, 2010 in San Diego. Attendance at this Conference promotes the professional development and leadership skills of individuals seeking careers in flight department management.
 
The Corporate Aviation Management Scholarship, now in its sixth year, is sponsored by NBAA and The VanAllen Group. Representatives from each of these entities will be present at the NBAA Leadership Conference to recognize this year's recipients.
