Women in Aviation, International and Summit Aviation Partner to Provide New Benefit to WAI Members

DAYTONA BEACH, FL, March 20, 2003 – Women in Aviation, International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women in all aviation career fields and interests, today announced an alliance with Summit Aviation, Inc. Summit Aviation is a woman-owned corporation based in Golden, Colorado, a Women in Aviation corporate member, and publisher of the Computerized Aviation Reference Library, a leading electronic aviation documentation publication.
Women in Aviation (WAI) will offer Summit’s Reference Library at a 25% discount as a new benefit to all WAI members. Summit Aviation will also provide support to WAI through the donation of a significant portion of all profits from the promotional offer back to WAI.
Summit also offers subscription services to the Reference Library updated bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, and semi-annually and these subscriptions will be offered at the same 25% discount through WAI. The offer period begins March 20, 2003 and concludes October 31, 2003.
"Summit Aviation, the business, embodies many of the qualities that make up the typical Women in Aviation corporate member. The business is about aviation, it is woman-owned and, finally, believes deeply in supporting other women who would like to have careers in aviation and aerospace through its generous donation to WAI," says Dr. Peggy Chabrian, president of WAI.

"We are delighted to associate ourselves with and provide support to such an important and outstanding organization as Women in Aviation," said Paula Woellhaf, Summit Aviation CEO. "The work they perform is essential to the development of women’s opportunities in the aviation industry and we are excited to be able to play a part in that effort."

In 1990 Summit became one of the first companies to publish FAA documents electronically. Over the past 12 years, its Computerized Aviation Reference Library grew dramatically in both content and capability. It now contains over 1,000 documents, representing some 35,000 paper pages, and includes thousands of illustrations. Summit's customers represent all segments of the aviation industry worldwide.
