Credit EAA president Rod Hightower for inspiring the idea for Women in Aviation Internatonal’s inaugural “Bring Your Daughter to the Convention Day,” to take place on March 10 at the WAI annual convention in Dallas.

Asked to speak at the conference, Hightower said he would be happy to, and that he also planned to bring two of his own daughters (who he says are “crazy about aviation”) to the show. That sparked the idea among WAI organizers to ask others to bring their daughters to the conference as well, where the association plans to host a full day of events for girls ages 10 to 18.
