Where will we find
new leaders for
Business Aviation?
23
And why should I care?
• We need to forge and strengthen ties to collegiate
aviation programs – increase corporate presence on
campus where GA story is often not heard.
• Thus exposing students to the career potential offered by
Business Aviation
• We can then identify potential future employees and
industry leaders
• And, spread the positive message about Business
Aviation
