Why Attend
In nearly 30 years in aviation, I have never been surrounded by so many intelligent, smart, brave, inspiring aviation women. I feel so grateful. And so humbled by the moment. I can’t wait for the 2021 Summit!
We had 8 women attend from Hytek Finishes. And I am not joking when I say this is the best conference I’ve been to in a decade! I was very impressed with the lineup of speakers and the quality of content.
Attending The Leading Ladies of Aerospace Summit 2020 was incredibly inspriing. I learned to not be afraid to be a leading lady. That by coming together WE can make an IMPACT on so many lives.
