The NBAA Mentoring Network offers established business aviation professionals the chance to connect with tomorrow’s leaders by providing mentees with an invaluable leg-up in their careers. Perhaps most important, however, are the guidance, inspiration and support these professional relationships can provide for everyone involved. “Being a mentor does take time and effort, but you always get more from it than you give,” said Paul Scurio, an international captain for Netflix. “It’s a very rewarding experience to give back some of your experience and knowledge.”

Paul Scurio, international captain for Netflix and member of NBAA’s International Operators Committee
