Institute for Women of Aviation Worldwide Becoming a Corporate Member 2013
The Mission Our mission: To foster gender balance in the air and space industry through outreach, education, and advocacy. • To celebrate the contributions and achievements of past and current women of the air and space industry around the world. • To promote the air and space industry among the female population; and to change the attitudes and behaviors that lead to women’s exclusion. • To develop programs which provide girls and women an opportunity to become empowered, motivated, and capable of succeeding in the air and space industry as well as programs to facilitate the inclusion, well being, and success of women in the industry. • To collaborate with, and educationally support, other organizations.
The Vision We will lead the shift to a gender balanced air and space industry where men and women will thrive in harmony and parity.
The Numbers: Women Of Aviation Worldwide Week 2013 • 17,000+ girls and women attended • Events on 4 continents: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe • 5,316 girls and women took flight in a small aircraft for the first time • 2,500+ viewed the live stream broadcast featuring astronaut Chris Hadfield, astronaut Pam Melroy, NASA scientist Manta Patel Nagaraja, and MDA Space Missions space engineer Natalie Panek • 64,000+ visited the official website (preceding & event week) • 26,000+ weekly reach on Facebook (preceding & event week) These results were achieved during the first year of the existence of iWOAW. (third year of the Fly-It-Forward initiative)
The Impact A survey of the girls and women who attended events during the 2013 week revealed • more than 76% of them had never thought of seeking information about aviation activities before hearing about WOAW 2013, and • more than 77% said that they would consider aviation for pleasure or a career in aviation as a result of their experience. The winner of the 2013 First-to-Solo Challenge soloedless than 2 months after discovering flying in a small aircraftas part of WOAW Week.
Goals Our goal of eventual male-female participation parity from the current 12% overall female participation rate in aviation (5% of pilots) will contribute to • solving the current shortage in qualified technical aeronautical professionals, • creating the tens of thousands of new pilots needed to satisfy the coming global air transport demand, and • reversing the current decline in the active private pilot population
