Pilot and Executive Director, Careers in Aviation
Hi, my name is Judy. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, but currently reside in
Palm Coast, Florida. I am the Executive Director for Careers in Aviation, an
aviation scholarship endowment. “Careers in Aviation” allows me to build
partnerships across the country to make differences in the lives of students
and the aerospace industry. In addition, I remain director to two national
aerospace conferences: the National Conference on Aviation and Space
Education and the Leadership Conference on Aviation and Space Education.
My position with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) as Deputy Director Aerospace
Education and with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) as the
Executive Director Youth Education involved a wide variety of skills, to
include: collaborations with various national aerospace education
organizations; developing, writing, and editing curriculum; script writing and
video production; implementation of curriculum programs in schools
through-out the nation; professional development; large scale
volunteer/member coordination efforts; coordinating the largest air show
event in the nation for youth, KidVenture; and director to two national
aerospace conferences.
My former employer, Pitsco Incorporated, allowed me to travel across the
country writing and implementing aerospace programs for teachers and
educators. As an Aerospace Programs Development Specialist, I also did
marketing and resource development.
Throughout my life, I have had a passion for aviation and aerospace
technology. This interest and sixteen years in formal education eventually
brought me into the field of aerospace education. I value the experience
gained in special education because it gave me a broad knowledge of the
learning process. The National 4-H Aerospace Curriculum Project hired me
to produce a series of publications that eventually involved 35 businesses
and thousands of pre-college 4-H members. During the 4-H project, I
learned to fly and currently hold a private pilot, instrument rating,
commercial, and am continuing toward my CFI.
I am the proud owner of a Grumman TR2 airplane. My goal is to share my
passion for aviation and my extensive experience with youth and adults
everywhere.
I have the following awards and accomplishments in my portfolio:
· 2005 Laursen Award
· 1993 EAA Outstanding Ground Volunteer Award
· 1996 NATA John E Godwin Scholarship for Aviation Contributions
· 1996 Minnesota Governor's Award for Excellence in Aerospace
Education
· 2001 Wisconsin Aerospace Educator
· 2001 National Congress Crown Circle Award
· 2001 Woman Pilot Ambassador
· 1996 Chair, Minnesota Aviation History Education Center Museum
· Member of the following organizations: WIA, EAA, AOPA, UAA, 99's,
National Coalition of Aviation & Space, National Aerospace Program
Committee, Civil Air Patrol
My work through CAP, EAA, Pitsco, and 4-H has taken me to almost all 50
states presenting aerospace teacher workshops and youth aerospace
programs. The EAA SMT Elementary Project will impact over ¼ million
students in grades 3, 4, and 5 within 4 years. KidVenture/AirVenture in the
year 2001 provided over 10,000 young participants an aviation educational
opportunity in 5 days. The National Conference on Aviation and Space
Education and the Leadership Conference on Aviation and Space Education
reaches thousands of educators and leaders in industry each year.
