This year we are doing something a little bit different! The 2023 Inspire gala is all about the FUTURE and we are looking for 8 women to feature who are advancing the future of aviation.
What does that mean exactly? These are some examples of what we are looking for:
Each year we open applications and nominations in search of inspirational women in aviation. After a difficult selection process, eight women are chosen and we kick things off by spending a weekend together, sharing stories, and getting to know one another. This is an opportunity to build life-long friendships and networks of support across various areas of the aviation industry.
If selected, you will be required to travel to Edmonton, AB twice in 2023. First, in spring 2023 (May 26-28) for a photo shoot and video interview, and again on October 13-15, 2023 for the Inspire gala.
The women we feature quickly become a part of the Elevate Aviation family and join our cause of helping women thrive and succeed through careers in aviation.
If you, or someone you know, will inspire the future generation, we want to hear about it!

Note that to nominate someone you first must tell them and make sure they are able to commit.
