Don’t just talk about it—be about it!

The Elevate Executive Exchange is a monthly virtual forum for senior leaders and decision-makers in aviation and aerospace to engage in candid, solution-driven conversations about the real issues impacting workforce culture, leadership, and retention. These sessions are not webinars—they are interactive, unscripted discussions designed to move beyond surface-level DEI talk and into real, lasting change.

Whether you’re a C-level executive, HR leader, or someone who shapes culture from the inside, the EEEs are your space to listen, learn, challenge assumptions, and share ideas with peers who are ready to lead differently.

This Month, we will talk about:

A Retaliation Case Study: When Speaking Up Backfires

Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025

Time: Noon EDT / 11:00 am CDT / 9:00 PDT

Location: Virtual (link sent upon registration)

In this session, we’ll examine a real-world case of workplace retaliation in the aviation and aerospace industry—one where a woman’s decision to report inappropriate behavior resulted not in protection, but punishment. From being sidelined and reassigned to ultimately leaving the company, her experience exposes the organizational blind spots and leadership failures that are still far too common.

Together with a panel of experts, we’ll explore:

• What retaliation really looks like in corporate settings

• How HR and leadership responses often fall short

• The long-term cost of silence, inaction, or denial

• Practical steps leaders can take to foster accountability and psychological safety

If we want to retain the best talent—especially women and underrepresented professionals—then how we respond when someone does the right thing matters more than ever.

Join us for a powerful, unfiltered conversation.

What every woman in aviation and aerospace needs to know about retaliation—and how to rise above it.

You did the right thing—spoke up, advocated for fairness, raised a concern. But instead of support, you were met with silence, exclusion, or worse.

Canceled this month due to Women in Aviation International Conference!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
