Selena Shilad Mourned for Dedication in Aviation
The Alliance for Aviation Across America regretfully announced the passing of their long-serving executive director Selena Shilad. Shilad had "served the Alliance with distinction since its inception in 2007, and ascended to the role of executive director within a year," said the Alliance release. Her passing was a shock to many in the industry given her age, only 45-years-old. Reportedly, a "brief illness" was the ultimate and surprising cause.
