GOOD BYE, BUT NOT REALLY: This is the end of my term as the Chair, First Canadian Chapter 99s. I will be working with Lisa Bishop, Governor East Canada Section as the Vice Governor, plus will still be involved in many of the First Canadian Chapters programs, maintaining the website and being involved. We started a few new projects and hope to bring on more programs in 2017.
The chapter is only as active as the members make it! Get involved…even if you’ve been a member for many years and have already been on the Executive…we still need your help with the new members and to bring more women in to aviation and the ones who are already there, to learn about the 99s.
We have many committees that have been dormant and would love to get them active again…but we can’t do it without you.
New members are always welcome to get involved.
Contact me if you are interested in knowing where you can help!
