Here's our chapter's update for this quarter.
Our chapter has been very busy over the last few months. Membership now stands at 28 people. We are currently soliciting volunteers to participate on the A-team (AWAM) at the next PAMA Olympics. We also helped out the national organization by contacting last year's AWAM scholarship donators to see if they would like to contribute again this year.
We have had monthly meetings with last month's meeting including a speaker from Delta TechOps Tech Sales and Marketing department, Demetra Daniels. Demetra gave a description of her job as account manager, and what her department is responsible for at the TOC. She gave an interesting insight to her career with Delta and the different job responsibilities she has held over the years with Delta. This month we had a program on skills necessary in the workplace which included some interactive testing.
Our chapter once again participated in Delta's annual Girl Scout day. This was the third year for the event and was very successful. Here's some information about it from our chapter member Judy Harrison. Please note it has been edited for brevity.
Seven Delta TechOps people, including AWAM Chapter 2 members, participated in the 2004 Girl Scout Day on September 18, 2004. The event is for Girl Scouts in the southeastern region ranging in ages from 13 through 16 to visit Delta and learn about careers in aviation. The TechOps team was comprised of Engineers, AMTs, and analysts. Engineer Cathy Argote, who coordinated the effort for TechOps, and fellow engineer Kent Horton did a wonderful job of co-facilitating the initial presentation about technical operations to the Girl Scouts. The girls were educated on the wide variety of jobs available just in the maintenance operations side of Delta such as Engineering, Quality Auditing, AD & FAA Compliance, Engine/Aircraft Records, Configuration Control, Materiels, Aircraft Maintenance Technician (aircrafts, engines, components), Insourcing, Outside Repair, Inspection, etc. A tour of the engine shops, Large Test Cell, and several repair shops was conducted by AWAM Chapter 2 member Judy Harrison. The girls were also given a tour of an aircraft undergoing a heavy maintenance check. According to the Delta employee, Faye Brown, who organized the entire event, "The Girl Scouts said it was the best we've had so far. I truly appreciate everything each of you did individually to make it such a successful day. We have received some really good feedback from the girls on how much they learned and enjoyed the day. I thought you might like to see some of the feedback from the evaluation summary I received today regarding your career track!" A comment that sums up the feedback is, "The tour of the hanger and planes were really cool! And the engine test room was impressive too. Being able to see the repair of the planes and being able to see the engines being put together and taken apart."
The Regional WIA conference, being held here in Atlanta, is fast approaching and our chapter will help with tours of Delta TechOps for conference attendees. During the conference, we hope to get some folks together during this conference to prepare for this year's PAMA Olympics. More to come on this. . ..
