Black History Month marks a moment to engage in conversations about ensuring opportunities for anyone who wants to join our industry. “As a little girl, whenever I would see aviation depicted in film or TV or magazines or anything like that, none of those pictures ever looked like me,” said business aviation leader Stephanie Chung. “That’s where I wanted to spend my career, [but] I honestly didn’t know what I could do, because I’d never seen representation.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Tracie Carwile, president of Global Sales and Inclusion at GGT Worldwise and incoming chair of NBAA’s Endeavor Group
- Stephanie Chung, author of “Ally Leadership: How to Lead People Who Are Not Like You”
- Andre Watson, director of maintenance at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
