At the Women in Emerging Aviation Technologies Workshop, cohosted with the Women and Drones 7th Annual Global Awards ceremony in Washington DC, leading advocacy group Commercial Drone Alliance announced a new initiative designed to support the development of women for leadership roles.

The Women’s Leadership Development Task Force is a practical response to the persistent problems of a lack of diversity in the drone industry, combined with an increasing need for personnel in rapidly growing drone companies.

The Commercial Drone Alliance is a non-profit advocacy group supported by many of the drone industry’s biggest players: Skydio, Zipline, DroneDeploy, Amazon, Southern Company, Wing, Honeywell, Florida Power and Light, DRONERESPONDERS, and many more.  For this new initiative, the CDA Board of Directors “will appoint representatives to join the Task Force, which will play a crucial role in formulating recommendations to effectively support, mentor, and create opportunities for women in leadership positions within the emerging aviation sector.”
