The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE), has announced the incorporation of the organization in the state of Connecticut. SAFE is a new organization formed to represent the nation's professional aviation educators,

SAFE has scheduled its inaugural meeting during the upcoming Women in Aviation International conference. The meeting will take place on Thursday, February 26th at 1715 in the Centennial IV room of the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to SAFE spokesperson Doug Stewart, "Incorporation is a big step in establishing SAFE in the aviation community and in creating a member driven organization that will be responsive to the needs of the nation's aviation instructors. We plan to hear from various committee chairpersons regarding the current status of initiatives and to discuss the charter memberships which will be offered as soon as all the filings are complete." Following the committee reports, a question and answer session will be held to allow interested participants and media to learn more about the future plans for the organization.

"Securing non profit (501c3) status for SAFE is the next big step in our efforts to create an organization that will represent the nation's aviation educators and Certified Flight Instructors with professionalism, transparency, fairness and accountability." continues Stewart.

"We are moving forward on many fronts to put programs in place, to elect an initial Board of Directors and to begin offering memberships to aviation educators, flight instructors and industry partners. We are excited about the opportunity to debut our new organization at the 20th annual WAI conference. Everyone is invited to stop by and meet us."
