Successful networking is key to career growth in business aviation, and this is especially true for young professionals entering the industry. “My best networking tip would be to be prepared,” said Sierra Grimes, NBAA’s senior manager, registration, and NBAA Young Professionals Council member. “Once you come prepared, and you know who you’re seeking, don’t hesitate. Come in with a goal and have a plan and an actionable item that you can take away from that conversation.” Learn more about networking tips in this week’s NBAA Flight Plan podcast.
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
