WAI Attendees Discuss Recruiting Opportunities in Commercial Aviation

In an effort to optimize these networking opportunities, Women in Aviation, International began annual WAI conferences, holding the first gathering in 1990. Now, twenty years later, the WAI conferences remain a crucial hub for both career advancement and education.

Visitors are able to receive face-to-face interaction with more than 200 industry representatives offering both employment and educational opportunities.
