SPOTLIGHT
Women in Aviation Network Group We empower our Team Members to create Network Groups that resonate with and mean something personal and impactful to them. These Network Groups work with our Diversity & Inclusion Council and advance the visibility of Team Members, while also increasing awareness and encouraging a sense of belonging for all. For Women’s History Month in March 2022, our Women in Aviation Network Group hosted a series of events and programming engaging Team Members from across the system. These events were created to encourage them to take time to learn more about the successes and struggles of females in a maledominated industry. Throughout the month, we featured a variety of leaders both internally and on our @allegiant Instagram, who have collectively spent more than 30 years with Allegiant. By showcasing our operational groups, it was great to celebrate the impact our own leaders have made on the organization, including the
challenges they have overcome. Members of the Network Group expressed a need for additional training and resources to manage their work-life balance, especially amidst the pandemic. We collaborated with an expert partner to provide a free webinar encouraging confidence in establishing boundaries between James work Kawashima, and home. General Manager (LAX)
Last but certainly not least, the Network Group hosted the first ever fireside chat with 5 directors and above across a variety of departments. It was an inspiring hour to learn about the rewards and benefits, but also the risks and challenges, of not only being a female leader but also being one in a male dominated industry. Long term, all of our Network Groups, in collaboration with the Council, Corporate Giving and Talent Acquisition teams, will continue to advocate and promote making aviation careers accessible for as many individuals as possible.
