See What People Say About our Training Conferences

I had a wonderful opportunity to attend the NHCFAE Training Conference in Atlanta, GA this year.  I have been part of NHCFAE and the FAA for a few months.  The Conference Committee gets my Kudos.  I cannot imagine the coordination the hours of research, emails, phone calls, letters, etc., it took to put a conference of this magnitude in action.  It was very well organized with great information, important keynote speaking, with the variety of training available and meeting members of the “familia”, was impressive, the scholarships awarded and the banquet all organized perfectly It is the best Conference I have ever attended.

After hearing FAA Administrator Michael Huerta describe how he became interested in the aviation industry, I was inspired to become more involved.  I’ve contacted the local Carlsbad, C.A. school district to attend all the career days this school year.  My goal is to get lots of Hispanic boys and girls interested in aviation careers, such as Air Traffic Controller, Airways Transportation System Specialist and administrative positions within the Federal Aviation Administration

by Connie Bunnell, Western Pacific Member. Sponsor

In addition to meeting new members and learning about other careers fields, the conference provided excellent training throughout the conference.  I did not feel “death by PowerPoint” at any time as the speakers were very interactive, entertaining, and knowledgeable.  I was surprised how much training we completed in just days.  Notably, the training was not focused strictly on FAA computer based training.  There were speakers from other organizations and notable college professors who provided excellent training and professional growth.  I could honestly say that I benefited and learned from every single course

by Nat Perez, Western-Pacific Member Sponsor
