Martha King, co-chair and co-owner of a major E-learning-focused aviation school, has been appointed to Civil Air Patrol\u2019s Board of Governors.<\/p>\n

King succeeds retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Teresa Marn\u00e9 Peterson, whose second three-year on the Board of Governors expires in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Civil Air Patrol has a long and storied history, and represents the biggest and most committed group of volunteers in aviation,\u201d King said. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be associated with this wonderful group of contributors.\u201d<\/p>\n

San Diego-based King Schools Inc., which King founded in 1975 with her husband, John King, develops and provides online courses for individuals interested in achieving all levels of pilot certification.<\/p>\n

The Kings, both certificated flight instructors, launched King Schools as a traveling ground school that conducted two-day courses in various cities. About 10 years later they created training videos for other flight instructors\u2019 use in presenting their courses. They subsequently moved to online training.<\/p>\n

King and her husband were inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in 2006.<\/p>\n

In 2003, she was honored by the First Flight Centennial Commission as one of the 100 Distinguished Aviation Heroes in the first century of flight and was also named as one of the \u201c100 Most Influential Women in Aviation\u201d by Women in Aviation International. Two years later, she received the National Aeronautic Association\u2019s \u201cCliff Henderson Award for Achievement,\u201d annually presented to \u201ca living individual or group whose vision, leadership or skill has made a significant and lasting contribution to the promotion and advancement of aviation or space activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years the Kings were jointly:<\/p>\n

Named \u201cAviation Educators of the Year\u201d by Professional Pilot Magazine in 2006,<\/p>\n

Honored with the Vision Award from Business & Commercial Aviation and inducted into the International Aerospace Hall of Fame in 2008,<\/p>\n

Recognized with the American Spirit Award by the National Business Aviation Association in 2009,<\/p>\n

Awarded the Frank G. Brewer Trophy for Aviation Education by the National Aeronautic Association in 2012, and<\/p>\n

Presented the Pinnacle Award by the Flight School Association of North America in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartha King has an excellent reputation as an industry leader in innovative approaches to pilot training, and we\u2019re all delighted to welcome her to CAP\u2019s Board of Governors. The vision and experience she brings to our governing body are especially valuable as we increase our emphasis on flight training for our youth in response to the nation\u2019s ongoing pilot shortage,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Mark Smith, CAP national commander.<\/p>\n

As Civil Air Patrol\u2019s top governing body, the 11-member Board of Governors consists of four Air Force appointees, three members appointed jointly by the Secretary of the Air Force and CAP\u2019s national commander, and four members-at-large \u2014 including Peterson and King \u2014 selected by CAP\u2019s Senior Advisory Group to represent industry, government and education.<\/p>\n

The Board of Governors moves CAP forward through collective decision-making to generate strategic policies, plans and programs designed to guide it both today and tomorrow. It is assisted by CAP\u2019s national commander and CEO, the organization\u2019s chief operating officer and the CAP-U.S. Air Force commander, who act as advisers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
