Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to meet and mingle with many women and men in different areas within the aviation industry. With each new encounter, I come to learn a new career within the sector. In doing so, I have also involved myself in projects and activities in the industry that give me a better perspective of the history of the industry and its development. Many of us, within the industry, do not know what role the other plays in making our jobs easier. This is why we decided that the theme for this year's 2nd Annual WAFRIC conference will concentrate on enlightening all about the diversity of this industry we so love.
But what can you do to enlighten yourself? There are many ways of getting information, but I believe in meeting people in person, which will not only help you network and learn, but might even stir something in you that you never realised about yourself before. Conferences are a very good way to do this. Many of us think that they are expensive but if you do your research, you'll come to realise how easy it is and sometimes, when lucky, even free. I attended an ICAO seminar yesterday. This I found as I was going through the ICAO website. The seminar was free and I for one, must say, I got to learn alot. The emphasis for this seminar was Aviation Safety. For those with access to the internet, get busy and get involved, because this industry, regardless of your rank, affects you too.
Happy landings people.
