The GIAD Delaware Valley event committee, eager to expose\nmore girls to aviation career pathways, officially opened RSVPs on Monday,\nAugust 12. \u201cWe are one week into publicizing our event and currently see more\nthan 250 girls signed up,\u201d shared Dave Krause, committee co-chair and co-owner\nof Influential Drones, one of the event\u2019s veteran partners. \u201cSignature Flight\nSupport was quick to support our GIAD for a second year, and their fixed-based\noperation (FBO) at the Atlantic City Int\u2019l Airport (ACY) brings together a\nfantastic venue complete with hangar, ramp space and a private aircraft\nterminal, as well as the full support of the FBO staff and community\nvolunteers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we celebrate National Aviation Day. It\u2019s a perfect\ntime to highlight our partnership with Signature Flight Support, as their\ngenerosity allows us to offer this event free for girls and their parents,\nguardians, and chaperones,\u201d stated Lyndse Costabile, committee co-chair and\nveteran partner through FunD Av Consulting. \u201cAs volunteers and philanthropists,\nwe believe it is our duty to provide quality outreach events for our young\nwomen to find inspiration, grow their engagement, and explore their interests\nwith hands-on activities across aviation and STEM. We are shaping a new\ngeneration of talent, and it\u2019s imperative that our future aerospace workforce\nincludes women and minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
