February Chapter Meeting Highlight

We would like to send a special thank you to Mrs. Terry Grant-Robinson, an Aerospace Engineering Instructor with the Jasper County School District, and her students for attending our monthly Southern Wings Chapter meeting held that was held on February 09, 2023. We enjoyed learning about the career and technology education programs being offered in the Jasper County School District. In exchange, we were able to give them a little insight into what a typical work day is like for us in our career fields and what our primary responsibilities are in relation to the Aerospace industry.
