American Chinese Leadership Development Program Attended by Aventure

The NACA mentoring kick-off session held April 2018.

Aventure Aviation is supporting the North American Chinese Association (NACA) as a mentor for their leadership development program. A corporate member of the Atlanta Regional Chapter, Aventure attended the mentoring kick-off session this past April.

NACA mentors generally consist of middle to senior level managers, executives, or leaders from major corporations and firms in the Atlanta area. They are carefully selected and have diverse backgrounds.

As part of its mission to build the next generation of leaders, NACA launched its formal mentoring program to help young Asian-American professionals acquire greater skills, build lasting social networks, and integrate within mainstream American culture as they launch their professional careers in the United States.

The president of Aventure Aviation, Zaheer Faruqi, spoke to recipients of the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders at a "Lunch N Learn" session held July 2 at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia. Faruqi discussed Aventure’s path to entrepreneurship, its growth, experience on the African continent, and lessons learned.

The Fellows, aged between 25 and 35, have established records of accomplishment in promoting innovation and have had a positive impact in their organizations, institutions, communities, and countries.

This was the fifth consecutive year the University hosted the fellows. The first four classes represented all 49 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This year, the Fellowship will provide up to 700 outstanding young leaders with the opportunity to hone their skills at a U.S. higher education institution and have professional development support after they return home.

A civilian C-130 (LM-100J) performed a daring loop-the-loop maneuver at the recent 2018 Farnborough International Air Show. Aventure looks forward to seeing all our C-130 customers in our hometown of Atlanta at the 30th Lockheed Martin Hercules Operators Conference (HOC) October 15-18. Watch the video >
