🌟 Happy Girls in Aviation Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the incredible potential of young girls in aviation and aerospace! This special day is dedicated to inspiring and empowering the next generation of female leaders in our industry. At The Elevate Initiative, we believe in the importance of fostering interest and providing opportunities for girls to explore careers in aviation. Whether it’s through mentorship, hands-on experiences, or educational programs, we are committed to breaking down barriers and encouraging young women to dream big. Here are a few ways to celebrate Girls in Aviation Day: ✈️ Mentorship: Reach out to a young girl interested in aviation and share your journey and experiences. 📚 Education: Organize or participate in workshops, webinars, or events that introduce girls to aviation-related fields. 🚀 Inspiration: Share stories of successful women in aviation and aerospace to inspire the next generation. Let’s work together to create a more diverse and inclusive future for our industry. Together, we can empower girls to take flight and reach new heights! #GirlsInAviationDay #Aviation #Aerospace #WomenInSTEM #Empowerment #DiversityAndInclusion #womeninaviation #womeninaerospace photo: Ryli Kirchmar, 3 years old, October 2013

✈Women in engineering✈ Off the back of my post last week regarding the first all-female aircrew to complete NATO AWACS mission, I was looking into more information on woman in engineering and came across the below article. According to the Women's Engineering Society, currently only 16.5% of all engineers in the UK are women! This article highlights the fact that females are not seeing themselves in engineering from an early age, so generating interest early on is vital to ensure our future engineers consist of more females. A section of this article that resonated and is very true is: 'In aerospace, we are designing and digitally enhancing products faster than we can fill our rapidly expanding engineering and technology roles. Recruiting more women engineers is not only a matter of equity but a matter of necessity.' Definitely recommend reading the full article⬇

As a woman-owned business serving mission-critical, engineering-driven industries from Aerospace and Defense to Energy, Electronics, and Medical fields, we can't let International Women in Engineering Day go by without a tip of the hat and a shout-out of appreciation. Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women engineers who innovate, inspire, and lead in shaping the future. Did you know that pioneers like Hedy Lamarr, whose frequency-hopping technology paved the way for modern wireless communications, and Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin in space, have left indelible marks on engineering and science? Let's continue to support and empower the next generation of women engineers who are breaking barriers and driving advancements. Check out how we support these industries and more: https://lnkd.in/gaSfC7_9 #WomenInEngineering #STEM #Innovation #Aerospace #Defense

This International Women's Day, we soar high as we celebrate the indomitable spirit and remarkable achievements of women in aviation. From Katharine Wright's behind-the-scenes ingenuity to Harriet Quimby's pioneering flight paths, women have been instrumental in shaping the skies. Yet, despite their monumental contributions, women remain underrepresented in key aviation roles. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor these trailblazers while recognizing the vast expanses waiting to be explored by future female pilots, mechanics, and aerospace engineers. With increasing opportunities and support, there's never been a better time for women to join and redefine the aviation industry. Let's inspire a new generation to take flight and continue breaking barriers, ensuring a diverse, balanced, and thriving future in aviation. Join us in commemorating the legacy and future of #WomenInAviation. https://buff.ly/3T6Vpww Share your stories, celebrate progress, and let's propel towards an inclusive and innovative future.

Celebrating Women in Aerospace: Vancouver Office Sponsors WIA Conference The Vancouver office was proud to be a sponsor of the Women in Aerospace Conference last May, which was hosted by the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance (PNAA). The PNAA is a non-profit organization representing a coalition of aerospace companies supporting North America's largest commercial aerospace manufacturing cluster. Jay Schmidt, EVP & General Manager at our Vancouver facility, has been a member of the WIA Board for over 10 years. The Pacific Northwest has a dynamic aerospace ecosystem, known for over a century of innovation. With over 100,000 individuals employed in the industry and numerous companies advancing aerospace composites, avionics, and alternative fuels, the region is a global leader in aerospace innovation. The conference highlighted the contributions of women in aerospace and emphasized the bright future of the industry, driven by the talented and experienced workforce in the Pacific Northwest. #AerospaceInnovation #WomenInAerospace #PNAA #AerospaceLeadership #AerospaceIndustry #DiversityInSTEM #IndustryLeadership #AerospaceManufacturing #STEMInspiration #ImpactES #AviationExcellence #AerospaceCommunity
