Girls in Aviation Day 2024 is only 10 days away as of this writing!
Your GIAD committee has been working non-stop to bring the biggest Tampa event to date to Sheltair Tampa, Hangar 5, on Saturday, September 21 from 10am - 2pm.
With over 50 sponsors and vendors there is sure to be something for everyone. This event is open to young people of all ages and is free.
Here is what to watch for:
September 16 at noon Linda Hurtado and Fox 13 will interview our own Chapter President, Mariah Smith. Mariah is the Project Coordinator for Girls in Aviation Day and with a multitude of accolades, Mariah has been an asset in the Tampa Bay aviation community for many years.
Special guest Ella Vanderwest.
Ella, a long time Chapter member and student of aviation "has professed an interest in flying since she started spotting airplanes when she was very young." Ella has attended Camp KSC, Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, joined CAP and so much more.
Special guest will be one of our own Guest Speakers from TGH Aeromed, Sara Koehler or Danielle Fuller. Both are pilots with TGH Aeromed. We are very excited for you to meet them on September 21!
This event would not be possible without the support of over 50 sponsors! With their support we are able to offer scholarships and outreach opportunities in the Tampa Bay Community. Keep your eye on our calendar over the next couple months for new events. Scholarship opportunities will be announced next month!
