“I thought we really don’t need
another aviation organization, so
I was not originally excited about
the idea,” she said.
However, Chabrian soon realized that although there were
organizations for women in different segments of aviation, there
was not an all-encompassing
group that would embrace pilots,
nonpilots, controllers, airline staff
and aviation-oriented military
personnel and, even as important, one that accepted men as
full-fledged members. Women
in Aviation, International was
formed, and the first conference
managed by the new organization took place in Minneapolis in
1996. It was at this first conference that an important initiative
began: WAI’s scholarship program.
“In St. Louis in 1995, as the
organization was being formed,
we had a raffle and gave two
$500 scholarships,” she said.
“As we were preparing for
the Minneapolis conference, I
was approached by Northwest
Airlines, and it wanted to sponsor a scholarship. I was thrilled
thinking we could give another
$1,000 scholarship. As it turned
out, Northwest was more generous. The airline offered a type
rating in any aircraft flown by
Northwest. I still remember the
winner, Jodi Osborn, who jumped
and screamed when she won.
When given the choice of airplanes, Jodi picked the 747.”
Under Chabrian’s leadership,
Women in Aviation, International
continued to grow. In 1992, WAI
began honoring women who have
made a significant contribution
to aviation by inducting them
into WAI’s International Pioneer
Hall of Fame. A membership

magazine, Aviation for Women,
was launched in March 1998,
featuring Patty Wagstaff on the
cover. A system of chapters keeps
WAI members involved in the
organization all year long. At the
2013 WAI Conference, March
14-16 in Nashville, Tenn., 3,400
women are expected to attend.
Scholarship disbursements typically range near $500,000 each
year. To date, more than $7 million in scholarships have been
awarded.
Chabrian remembered a
moment a few years back when
she walked into a room at the
conference hosting an exhibitor breakfast, only to realize
the number of people there for
the breakfast was more than the
entire attendance of the first conference.
According to Chabrian, what
makes her most proud is to see
members coming back year after
year for the conference. “I see them
active in the industry and hear their
success stories,” she said.
Now looking forward to
celebrating the organization’s
25th anniversary at the WAI
Conference in Orlando in March
2014, Chabrian credits the tremendous industry support for the
continued growth of WAI. “We
also count on all the volunteer
help we receive from our members and remain open to welcoming both men and women to our
organization,” she said. q
