IRVING, Texas — The Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) will host the Association for Women in Aviation Maintenance (AWAM) 2025 Conference September 26–28 at its Irving campus. The event marks AWAM’s first large-scale national gathering and highlights AIM’s efforts to advance women in aviation and the trades.
“AIM is dedicated to training women technicians to support the aviation industry pipeline, and this conference represents an important step toward creating a more equitable work environment for these skilled professionals,” said AIM CEO Jason Pfaff.
The conference will bring together students, professionals, and industry leaders to share expertise, foster mentorship, and encourage more women to pursue aviation maintenance careers. AWAM President Stacey Rudser, the first female graduate from AIM’s Orlando campus, will lead the event.
Founded in 1997, AWAM is a nonprofit organization that provides networking, education, and mentoring while awarding more than $180,000 in annual scholarships.
