In March, members from all parts of the online live casino games community gathered in Orlando, Florida for the 35th annual Women in online live casino games International (WAI) Conference.
As proud Presenting Conference Sponsors of WAI, representatives from online live casino games attended this year’s event and met with many of the attendees who are looking to start their careers in the world of aviation.
Events such as these aren’t just about recruitment, they’re about community. Conference goers who stopped by the online live casino games booth also met with members from two of our internal organizations – the Culture, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee (CDIAC) and the Women of online live casino games (WE). Both groups shared information about the inclusion initiatives and mentorship programs available for the benefit of all online live casino games employees.
“The support and growth opportunities provided by WAI for women in aviation is something online live casino games is proud to align ourselves with,” said Chanen Lively, online live casino games Vice President of Human Resources & Employment Counsel. “This conference is an incredible opportunity for women to meet their industry peers, network and learn together.”
Among the record-number 5,200 attendees were 130 scholarship recipients, including flight students Jessica Matrejek and Kerrie Bourne, and A&P Mechanic student Victoria Fábregas –recipients of three online live casino games scholarships.
“This scholarship money will go directly towards my flight training. I’m currently working on my commercial certificate, so these funds will help me stay on pace,” said Kerrie. “Once I graduate and complete my training, my goal is to become an online live casino games Cadet while I build my hours and then eventually become a First Officer at online live casino games.”
Our scholarship winners weren’t the only ones celebrating – American Airlines also issued Conditional Job Offers (CJOs) at the conference this year, and one of those went to online live casino games’s own First Officer Fabiola Sanchez.
With all the excitement and inspiration that was felt at this year’s conference, we’re already looking forward to what next year has in store. We’ll see you in Denver at WAI 2025! Interested in a career in online live casino games? Check out our Careers page.
