Joy Parker Blackwood, AE Scholarship Fund Trustee

Joy Parker Blackwood, Amelia Earhart Scholarship Fund Trustee: s

"Since 1983 I have been an active member of the 99s.  I have had the great pleasure of meeting thousands of 99s and gaining new lifelong friends in the subsequent years while serving the organization in many capacities.  In the First Canadian Chapter I served as Chapter Chairman with the goals of bringing order to our operating structure and active member participation.  As Governor of the East Canada Section, my goal was to heighten awareness of the 99s across Canada and the world by coordinating, attending and speaking at many 99s and other aviation activities.

I attended the 99s International Board of Directors meetings as a member of the Council of Governors and as Governor Spokesperson.  I wrote a comprehensive Governor in Council SOP.  I was elected to the Board of Directors as a Director with two challenging mandates: improve and streamline headquarters operatings, and Long Range Planning to set a course for our Vision and Mission.  Those were difficult time, but I am proud to say that much of what was begun continues to evolve in a positive way.

This past year I have been an interim AEMSF Trustee.  One of the most valuable benefits of the 99s is this scholarship opportunity.  It goes to the core of our "Provide" mission statement.

Utilizing my aviation and business experiences and expertise, I will do what is needed for the continuing success of this program.  I will be honoured to continue to serve in an elected capacity with this outstanding team of dedicated Trustees."
