HOW ABOUT BOOKING EVENTS/PRESENTATIONS/PROGRAMS?
HOW CAN I ENCOURAGE GIRLS TO ATTEND OUR AVIATION EVENT?
- Within 1-4 hours driving - surcharge for fuel mileage & possibly
hotel costs and lodging - About our interactive presentation
- Events: Airshow/Aviation events
- Girls STEM/Career presentations for schools
HOW CAN I ENCOURAGE GIRLS TO ATTEND OUR AVIATION EVENT?
- Think how you can bring more girls into your airport days, Young Eagle
events, etc. Use the web to find local schools, Girl Scout councils, or 4-H
programs. - Tell the teachers/leaders about your STEM (Science Technology
Engineering & Math) related aviation event open to all students including
girls and minorities. (These are Educator keywords). - Get in touch with some local women pilots. Talk with local FBO's and
clubs like the 99s, Women in Aviation chapter, Whirlygirls, etc. or by
searching the FAA/AOPA/EAA database. - Make sure both genders are represented in your promotional materials
and media. - Be prepared to make a couple of attempts contacting organizations in
your community. Once you get the girls there, understand (gasp!) that
they are different from boys. Some will love the shiny engines and
mechanical things, others won't. Please make an effort to help make it a
social occasion.
