Active participation in activities for the benefit and advancement of general aviation, including the fostering, promoting, developing or
implementing procedures or programs in education and career opportunities.

Being an enthusiastic supporter of The Ninety-Nines organization by regularly attending meetings and participating in activities for the benefit and advancement of the Ninety-Nines programs locally, regionally, and internationally.
